For whatever reason, none of the previous web-heavy-hitter attendees—Dave Winer, Steve Gillmor, Sarah Lacy, Jason Calacanis, Mark Canter, Doug Kaye, Adam Curry, et. al.… Continue

Lessons from Gnomedex 9.0

Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend Gnomedex 9.0 in Seattle, Washington for the first time (see previous post about Gnomedex). It truly opened my eyes on how powerful and far-reaching social media has become with Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, blogging, etc.. in our daily lives. Pods of communities and tribes gather everyday on social media sites -- sharing their passion about causes, interests, and development. In every group formation leaders emerge with their knowledge and expertise… Continue

Listening and getting attention

You'd think that that getting people's attention would be talking at them... You know "psst, listen to me." But if you put the take away fromWarren Ethridge's together with what Chris Brogan is saying... listening is the core of social media engagement. Continue

What Could a Gnomedex Half Pass Mean to You?

In light of our announcement a few moments ago surrounding new ticketing prices and options, you may be asking yourself what the benefits of a half-pass could be. I want to take a few moments to go into more detail about what this will include, as well as how you can benefit from purchasing a ticket at this level. A half-pass will not gain you entrance to the main auditorium. It will not allow you to receive the lunch… Continue
