I wonder why Stowe does not answer me

Posted at 23:21 in lesblogs | | 1 Comments

Stowe Boyd says he is totally bored with blog conferences and said in this post that he was happy he did not go to Les Blogs (and then apparently deleted it from the post) so I have asked him twice on both posts why he sent me an email a few weeks ago to ask me if he would be invited as a speaker, if he was so bored and happy he did not go.

Stowe did not read my comments apparently... How can you be bored on the one hand and ask me a speakers slot by email at the same time ? Now you have two comments and one trackback from me on the same question.

I think LesBlogs 2.0 was, for the most part, a great conference. There was a lot of input from the other countries, especially during the breaks. There was plenty of fireworks, great networking and genuine expertise. Most people I spoke to were willing to share. I think the next one should be called Beyond Blogs as the social software world is broadening so that Blogs are part of a personal information strategy but (for most of us) not the only way we interact with society. I think Global Voices could have brought some more examples of why they are so enthused by citizen journalism rather than just ticked off with CNN. I hope Six Apart will start using wiki type technology too.

It would also be useful if Six Apart would develop a way to "give" someone a weblog for Christmas. I would like to be able to set up a weblog and then give the whole site (including the admin keys) to someone else as a present. Can't seem to find how to do that in Typepad.

About

Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco, I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software. Here is what TechCrunch says about it.

I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.

I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.

If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle.

You may also want to subscribe to my RSS feeds in English, French or my video podcast feed.
