pdlug: checked in at #toc skipping the morning tutorials to get some work done
pdlug: #toc any more openings on the guest list for tonight? I think I missed the cutoff for the RSVP
: #toc @pdlug I think we don't have names for all the genres of book as information. There will be many successors/complements, all different
pdlug: #toc cool little roboscanner thing tucked in a back room in the vendor showcase
pdlug: #toc at a session on intelligent agents, so far it's web crawlers for dummies
pdlug: #toc session has devolved further to a sales demo for connotate, would leave but at least I have a power plug here
pdlug: #toc excellent session by Scott Berkun
pdlug: #toc why do I seem to keep picking the most sparsely attended sessions?
: RT: @pdlug: #toc copyright session is a mess, no real discussion of modern copyright issues at all
: @pdlug Is there a main discussion Re: the copyright session? #toc
pdlug: #toc not sure what mashups have to do with copyright, hopefully speaker will touch on the actual rights issues in doing this
: @pdlug When people mash up songs/films/etc. that's not theirs, some say it should be considered fair use, others say it's infringement. #toc
pdlug: #toc Dow Jones speaker mentioned some rights issues but mostly a Yahoo Pipes demo, again, no copyright discussions
pdlug: #toc you would think there would be at least one rights/creative commons type discussion panel
pdlug: #toc session on digital pricing was mildly interesting, I don't think most ppl there realize that they will not be the ones to dictate price
: #TOC @pdlug BUYERS dictate prices. Sometimes by NOT buying. How many more in book publishing must be laid off? I'm patient!
pdlug: #toc keynote on "future" for publishing, lots of generic stats, we all know the world is digital, let's stop repeating this stuff all day
pdlug: #toc many industries have already addressed the challenges mentioned in this keynote, talk sounds like the same stuff I heard 10years ago
pdlug: #toc I love it when speakers go without a powerpoint crutch
pdlug: #toc talk by Jason Fried was awesome
pdlug: #toc this last keynote is going to be a long one, speaker seems to just be reading off his notes
pdlug: #toc had to leave the last keynote before I fell asleep, the speakers need to get more dynamic toward the end of the day
pdlug: #toc added a roundtable discussion of copyright/creative commons at 9:30, spread the word
pdlug: #toc off to the rountable discussions
pdlug: #toc great keynotes this morning
pdlug: #toc good CEO panel, probably some bias since these are obviously the more progressive executives (and at newer companies)
pdlug: #toc Gavin Bell from Nature is speaking on community
pdlug: #toc please stop redefining "book", you're all information providers who happen to package content in book form (for now)
pdlug: #toc session on digital successes and failures, I think publishers still don't get digital, go hire a few techies to explain it to you guys
pdlug: on the train home from #toc it was...like being on an archaeological dig for business models
