PC Forum Eventspace
Posted by Ross Mayfield
So with all the talk of SXSW having blogger-unfriendly policies, I thought I would point out something quite the opposite.
For the second year in a row, we are providing a
Socialtext Eventspace for
PC Forum:
Just like last year, its open to the public. A great way for remote participants who can't afford a C-level conference or can't make it this year to interact with attendees and benefit from the self-organizing content of the event. We get to build off of last year, which is already providing some interesting perspective on what has changed.
This year the conversation begins before the show, with controversial discussions on
Offshoring,
spam and
business models for online content. Chime in with your thoughts on these issues now.
One of the greatest things about an Eventspace is provides first time exposure to blogging for some people.
Writing on the Web isn't a new thing for these kinds of attendees, but conference blogging alongside others provides just the kind of social feedback to get people going.
More as the event unfolds...

FYI: www.buddyon.com launched over the last few days. Does social networking through AOL IM. Might end up a competitor to ICQ universe which also just came out.
