Live Blogging LIRNEasia Conference


Photo by Dinidu de Alwis, for LIRNEasia

Halik and Dinidu and Sanjay and I have been live-covering this LIRNEasia conference. Which is all the stuff clogging up Kottu, for which I apologize. It’s basically an experiment (also done 5 years ago) in using modern ‘Web 2.0′ tools to cover something live.

I’m basically blogging what people say, Dinidu is taking photos, Halik is blogging and Twittering and Sanjay is taking video. In this way even over mediocre connections its possible to get a pretty rich real time view of an event. The weird thing is that this is pretty much second nature to a lot of people my generation or below.

It’s not as new as last time, but still an interesting concept I think. You can follow the event at lirneasia.net, and all the social media stuff via the sidebar. It’s a bit technical, but interesting for economic/policy wonks. I think also generally.

Angel: I like paper planes and that’s about it. The super Bowl thing was just a pathetic (?successful) attempt to get some publicity, IMHO.

the way of the dodo: madonna is the possibly the great example of an artist creating controversy to sell music. Infact her theatrics warrant a lot of merit than her music.

the way of the dodo: does she even make her music. All i hear is a hodge-podge of stuff mixed together. Beatles didn’t have to create controversy to sell albums, their music was absurdly good and absurdly popular even when they were squeaky...
