This week I am attending a conference called Web Content 2008 in Chicago. Conferences now are much different from the ones that I have attended in the past. For one thing there is always free web access during the entire conference so that there are many people online blogging (as I am now). For another thing they encourage the use of something called "tags" to use when blogging or posting pictures etc. These tags help people searching on the Internet and using aggregation tools to find all of the relevant content. For example last week during the Mark Logic user conference we had the tag MLUC08. The tag for the conference I am attending now is WC08.
Another thing that happens is that as soon as a presenter mentions a website then most audience members who are online surf to that site, creating a mini rush of traffic.
Well the next keynote is starting (which is on something called social media) so I'll return to watching and taking notes.
