Please forgive the next-day blogging...
Thursday Sept 25 was a great day here! Loads of great people, connections, learning platforms, innovation and fun... the onslaught of media has been mind-boggling. Cameras everywhere interviewing unsuspecting passer-bys; corporate CEO's hanging out with fresh entrepreneurs, and all the visual eye-candy you can think of.
I have spent the majority of time here in Europen Bloggers Lab learning more about the world of web-journalism, connectivity and better tools available to enhance and create better practies in these areas. Major sites of interest were Creative Commons (www.creativecommons.org), Zemanta (www.zemanta.com), We magazine (www.we-magazine.com) and Wobbing. There were also some speakers touching on internet presence in Italy and other corners of the world. In terms of tools, I am really excited to start using CC for the artworks that I represent through my company, Embellish. And Zemanta will make my life a million times easier once I figure out how to make it work for me....
