Gnomedex 2007 – (Sorta) Live Blogging
Day one of Gnomedex! I’ll be periodically blogging today … depends in no small part on connectivity. :)
“I Blog, Therefore I Am” — An Introduction to Blogging
Part three in a workshop series sponsored by UW Department of Communications, the Seattle Chapter of the Association for Women in Communications and the UW Alumni Association. From the promo:
Blogging is one of the hottest buzzwords in communication today, whether we’re talking about journalism, public relations, politics or marketing. Learn what makes blogs different from other Web site forms, analyze a variety of blogging technologies and hosts, and explore how local businesses and media companies are incorporating blogs into their communication mix.

He showcased the website for HeadAutomatica : its foundation is user-tagged content (it supports folksonomies for text and images) combined with “official” content (press releases, mentions in media). No Flash in sight. [Added: no Flash in sight on home page .... media are distributed via Flash, MP, QT.]
