Here John talks about some of the preparation they did for Warwick Blogs including the marketing effort and how un-prescriptive they were about what people should use their blogs for.



Here's Adriana Cronin-Lukas from the Big Blog Company summing up the ONE trend that underpins everything we're talking about.



Louis was a little shy at first and wanted to push forward one of the people he was chatting to.  But when I assured him he could do it in French too he seemed placated ;-)

Again, apologies for not getting details straight, like surname, but I can work out that he's saying McGill University in Montreal.  Anyone know Louis and able to supply a full name?



I met Georg & Eszter in the foyer on Wednesday morning  and asked them about their experience of attending the conference this year.   

Sorry my Hungarian friends, I didn't get your surnames and I can't make out clearly enough from the video where it is that you work, but I trust some eagle-eyed commenters will be able to fill in these blanks.



I didn't get to take live notes in many sessions, but I did listen hard to Bob Boiko and I've posted the full notes on my blog.  Here's the key snippet for me:

"Create a strategy for information - how do you know what it should be?  Well whatever it is you need to do it, you need to have one.  If Knowledge is Power then why don't we have a strategic approach to information - how are we going to use it.  MOst people would tacitly agree, but they would have no idea how - maybe they could look to you.  Basic point is If we deliver the right information to the right people in the right way it will help us meet our goals.  There are no villains here, it's that they really don't know - it's not neglect it's lack of understanding - this is a whole new idea, a new discipline.  Either get a strategy, or quit saying Information is Power, because you're not behaving as if it were.  Bring this contradiction up, talk about it, work out whether and how information is valuable to your organisation."

Blogs were the big talking point on the second day of the conference. Blogger accreditation was kindly provided by Nancy Garman of Information Today.
