F2C is wild, unlike any other conference I attend although I’m not sure I’d even call it a confernce. It’s kinda like a debate, a party, an interactive dialog, and performance art all in one — maybe it’s just best labelled as a “gathering”. The live chat session is a cross dialog between the speaker and the audience. At times it converges and stays on the same topic, at times it diverges pretty wildly. This place could be the definitive example of how value still penetrates with continuous partial attention.
Anyway, here’s some random links and quotes from today, selected entirely based upon personal whim of what I found interesting and/or thought to capture at the time:
Who owns the net?
Doc Searls on saving the net
Danah interviewed by Bill O’Reilly on Myspace
The internet mapped onto OSI
How GM destroyed public transport to sell more cars..
Martin Geddes against net neutrality, “don’t fossislize the internet in 2006″.
Clegg Ivey from Voxeo, “telecom sucks, the internet is amazing, now telecom’s suckiness is threatening the internet”.
The award to the most off topic discussion goes to those discoursing on Shannon’s limit. You know who you are.
And of course, my notes from today wouldn’t be complete without a compliment to the music of Joe Craven, our musician in residence who is playing now as I finish this post.
