Conference in Sydney on Blogs & Web Media

The BlogTalk Down Under conference is being held in Sydney in two weeks time. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m giving a talk at it - which hopefully will be more of a discussion than a lecture – and I thought I would give the event a shameless plug.

If you are interested in whether blogging and the internet can make politics and the media work better (or worse), then I think it would be worth trying to get along to.

As conferences go, it’s quite cheap and there does look to be some very interesting speakers (apart from me that is). And if you can get 5 friends to go along, you get to go for free! (Some of us would just like to have 5 friends, but then I’m a politician)

Some of the presenters and topics are listed here. There’s bound to be lots of interesting papers presented, some of which can you can find here.

Speaking of the future shape of media and information sharing, I discovered this interesting mini movie called “Epic” (thanks to Crikey.com.au) which portrays how global media might change in the very near future. It’s worth a look.
