I don’t think I’ve been at a conference lately where someone hasn’t mentioned the words ‘Dave Winer’ within 10 minutes.
Even those who may not always agree with Dave have to admit that he is one of the prime connectors in the tech. world, and therefore organizing a conference is something that he is a natural for. I can’t make it to BloggerCon, but I’m sure it will be a success and that as a result there will be others.
