Fat Man Sings & Wraps Up

Winer's end-of-day session at BloggerCons have traditionally been called "Fat Man Sings." I was ready for another round of This Land is Your Land, but we didn't sing.

A handful of comments and summaries from users in the audience:

“I think its great that we have a room full of dedicated bloggers here and hope we can all unite behind the idea that we can open up electronic voting.” “I think its about creating content that is really useful to real people in communities rather than about writing something glamorous or becoming famous.” “It’s great to see that blogging is more than just me voicing opinions in my pajamas.” “I’ve made more valuable connections in three months speaking my mind on my blog than I have in the last ten years.” “I thought this would be a great venue to talk about whats missing in the blogosphere, which is a complete directory. I’d also like to see a separate session for working on things that are missing.” “I’d like to see a blogging session for the Enterprise.” And this one sums up the conference and where we're at right now extremely well. It also brings a smile. "When I went to the first BloggerCon, I went home and said 'Cool, a cult of bloggers.' "When I went to the second BloggerCon, I went home and said 'Cool, a community of bloggers.' "At the third Bloggercon, I’ll go home and say, 'Cool, a nation of bloggers.'"
