Paul's Web Space 2.1

Politics, Culture, Technology

Stories about cool events I've attended, musings about social media and other technology, and commentary about people, issues, ideas, whatever. I've had a web site since 1994, at my own domain since 1997, and switched it to blog format in 2005. Now, in 2008, I've added labels, shuffled things around a bit and fixed some style and UI quirks - hence 2.1. Watch for more widgets and microformats....

Social Media Presentation at Digital Velocity

On March 4, 2008, in New York City, I gave a presentation at the American Business Media conference DIGITAL VELOCITY 2008: Real Experts, Real Applications, Real Time. Here is the combined PowerPoint of my entire panel – Engaging Your Community in a Web 2.0 World (warning - large PDF download).

In my talk, I described social media efforts at edweek.org, including both community features that we are adding to our site, as well as Web 2.0 features that integrate our content more completely with the Web at large. Here is my favorite slide, which attempts to depict the feedback loop created by the social media "conversation":O'Reilly to the rescue (reprise) - the O'Reilly Digital Media Center page "Mac OS X Screenshot Secrets" helped me out when I was creating this presentation on the road, and it comes in handy again helping me to grab my favorite slide from the same presentation and save it as a GIF. Thank you O'Reilly!

Finally, in the Winter/Spring of endless conferences, I just returned from the NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference in New Orleans, and next week I attend David Isenberg's Freedom to Connect a mile from my house at the AFI Silver Theater in Silver Spring MD. Look for blog posts covering each of these as soon as I can get them together.
