We'll be sharing video from the event before too long - thanks again to the efforts of motorcyclenews.com's Angus Farquhar. Alan has already blogged about it.
The event was meant to inspire people to start their own blogs - and give them the tools to do so. One way or another it's off to a good start.
I say one way or another because while not everyone agreed with the message that Alan and Euan brought (and which, to be clear, I support), their words did achieve the objective - to act as a call to action to blog.
So today emap has more bloggers. Check out some of their initial efforts here:

PFK blog
And if you know of more by emap staffers, let me know.
More nodes on the network - more opportunities to connect - more understanding of the power of the network. More edge.
This is good.
I think it was really good to get both points of view, and to get the rise of social media (Which I definitely support) challenged.
ReplyDeleteI've covered some of Martyn's concerns on my blog, and it either makes us come up with a stronger set of reasons for what we are trying to achieve, or at least helps us to understand where the sticking points are for other people...
I'm just really looking forward to seeing what everyone else is writing...
More to add:

I write one as a notepad for tech stuff at fishfishfish.org and co-write another as part of my editorial work on Practical Fishkeeping.
