Personal Democracy Forum - Live Blogging
You didn't expect a roomful of new media folks to just sit and listen did you?
Dozens of laptop screens light the otherwise darkened audience section of an auditorium at New York's Pace University as bloggers write in real time about the Personal Democracy Forum conference. In addition to those filing for their own blogs like MyDD.com or Redstate.com, people can also chat and comment on the speakers at a special site set up for the conference. http://pdf2007.confabb.com/conferences/PDF2007/details
Google CEO Eric Schmidt joked that it looked like a Google meeting with people staring at computer screens rather than the speaker. He said it used to bother him and he even tried a laptop ban -- for about a week -- until he realized that instead workers were text messaging on their Blackberries under the table.
