Last night

Well, So much has happened since I last blogged. Sometimes it's hard to stop living and start reporting on it. Last night we sat down with a bunch of innovators and talked Algonquin-round-table style about topics that Sun is passionately interested in. Community involvement in our marketing programs, the value of webcasts and podcasts, the mix of brand and lead generation in advertising. I got to meet new people, including Miles Dennison from InfoWorld, Sean Weglage from ComputerWorld, and Jennel Hicks from NetworkWorld. At my table was also Ben Taft from Foundry Networks, a very smart chap from a company sellling, as you might guess, network infrastructure. We shared lots about the new world of blogging, bottom-up participation, and I realized that we are all facing the same problems, but that Sun has something to share about new media. Others are just putting their toes into the lake of participation that we're already swimming in. It's the bleeding edge. One group reported that Vlogging, Webcasts and the like were just a flash in the pan, but "we might as well participate in them anyway", because... Why not? It can't hurt. I remember a while back some people said that about the world wide web, too.
