Talking Heads
So my better half is attending this thing called Gnomedex in downtown Seattle and sent this picture home. What are these guys doing, listening or typing? I asked. She says they are "back channeling." Sounds like an occult film, RPG sorcery or some Self Help Tip. Supposed to be about the future of blogging. Yeah.
Blogging is so 2002, isn't it? Now everyone has a blog, like everyone had a hotmail account in 1996. It seems impossible that high-tech people like Microsoft still have something to say about it, and all the more surprising that people attend such a conference.
But then, I guess there's a point where the critical mass is reached, and something not so new in its concept becomes a breakthrough product through sheer good luck and good design. The way iPod and iTunes 'revolutionalized ' the music industry. After all, MP3 had been around since like 1995, right? So maybe, there'll be a 'blog revolution' that transforms the publishing industry yet.
Anyways, if there's news out there, Dipika will surely be reporting back here soon. In the meantime, I think I will go for a walk and enjoy the weather!
