A Newsvine open house might be in order.

I’ll see if either was recorded.

And yeah, generally a session is one person and a panel is multiple people. I like sitting in on sessions more, in general.

A reporter from Market Watch was giving information (I’m assuming which he learned at the Syndicate Conference in New York City) about websites with user-generated content. Newsvine, along with Digg, was mentioned as one of the best user-run sources for news out there. Then, he went on to describe how the staff moderates the content and how reputation points affect a user’s credibility. It was pretty interesting, and hopefully informative to those who don’t know of such sites – congratulations, Mike… Newsvine is making it big!

I haven’t followed his DaniloBlack work in Brazil much (at least not online — his print is excellent). Has there been much online down south that he’s been involved?

I was a big RB fan until Interactive Bureau redesigned MSNBC in the same way Tammy Fae puts on make up. I think Clemet Mok’s version was up for all of six months before IAB turned it into a mess. Roger’s work on magazines is legend but I have yet to really see anything of his online that compares to to his print work.

I would think that Silicon Valley might have more events but so far I have not heard of any. Be sure to post up the next time you head down near San Jose, CA.

As for your second stop. Roger Black will say.. “Well if I had it to do all over again from scratch, I would make my sites green, loaded with RSS feeds, maybe have a good comment system….Hey, I’ll make them like Newsvine!“

I was wondering if the workshops are really a big part of this. They more than double the cost, so that makes me hesitate to go to any of them, and I’m not really sure how helpful they’ll be. Can anyone (or Mike) say something about this?

Also, is the only difference between a session and a panel that a panel has several people talking instead of one?

-never been to a web conference-

I was stoked to finally find something within driving distance (or at least cheap airfare) with some speakers I know. I look forward to your panel with Keith Robinson, Dan Cederholm, and Bryan Veloso!

The benefit of the conference being so close? I’ve friends so I can stay for free!

Mike, do you know if AEA has any plans of hitting up your city of Seattle in the next year or so? I would love to go to that, but would rather not fly out East for it…

Milwaukee is pretty far… but Perth is definetly out of the way.

I am one of those people who live in the most isolated city in the world, Perth Western Australia.

I have already booked my flight and accomodation, without knowing who is speaking, I am going and so will half a dozen web folk from Perth. And from the sounds of it a few people will be travelling the same distance from Darwin. Web Conferences are good for the mind and soul (and usually a little rough on the liver ;-)

Web Visions in Portland sounds good, but too short a time frame for me this year, maybe next.
