Attending BlogHer ’06

  • Articolo

Thanks to KC’s post, I’ve registered for BlogHer ’06 this summer in San Jose. I’m going to propose a Room of Her Own session, as I haven’t had many opportunities to do public speaking outside of Microsoft campus.

What do you think about me speaking on “Blogging and Natural Disasters: A Case Study on Hurricane Katrina”? Yesterday, we went to Borders, where a “best of blogs” book caught my eye. The book naturally flips open right to the Blogs on Hurricane Katrina chapter, so it must be a sign this is what I should talk about. =)

Other topics do you want me to speak on? Anything in particular about Katrina and Blogs should I cover?

    How about the speed of information coming out of the Katrina blogs compared to traditional news outlets?

    I would mention "real" information as compared to "Spin Doctored" information that the mainstream media is fed and subsequently feeds to the general public.

    i believe that would be great, especially since you had the experience first hand to see and hear from the people here in hurricane katrina land.
