BloggerCon gets hammered...
This was a stupid idea from the git-go, and Dave Winer is getting some well-placed and well-deserved slams. The idea of charging people a pile of dough for a conference about blogging.... well, the stupidity sorta speaks for itself.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
At $500 per, it should be called SnoggerCon. Snogger is short for snobby blogger.
I've not been able to figure out what the hell the conference is about.
I say, "Hey boss. Can you pay for me to attend this?"
Boss says, "Sure no problem. What's it about?"
I say, "Beats me, but the word blogger is in the name."
Not good enough. I thought it was about blogging in business, behind the firewall, but I don't think that's it.
This is just an expensive excuse for people to have dinner together and take pictures of each other, which will appear on the their blog.
They will sit around and brag about what new gadgets they've acquired.
They will each write a glowing essay about the conference and what great revolutionary ideas it inspired.
Change the name to GetALifeCon.
