O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference - March 6-9, 2006 - San Diego, CA

This conference is being carried on IT Conversations as well as on O'reilly's Distributing the Future. DTF is a weekly digest with snippets similar to the concept for TI.

My next post will comment on DTF as a too-slick approach to podcasting audio recordings.

O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference - March 6-9, 2006 - San Diego, CA: "As Herbert Simon wrote in Computers, Communications and the Public Interest in 1971, 'What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.'"

The Attention Economy resulting from the poverty of attention described above is the basic rationale for Thoughts Illustrated approach to podcasting. Better test the concept as thoroughly as possible.
