Bloggers Summit Panel Version 1

Panel was very lively with the Professor taking his knocks and brickbats like everyone else.

Two of the panelists were on Twitter which seemed to me to be a commentary on life as we know it. Everything condensed to 160 characters. Oh yes and Twitter went down and has been having outages for quite a lot of yesterday and today.

So Siew Hoon as moderator put took us on a little journey. Asking hard questions like can you make money, why do you blog, what's the value, etc - resulted in a lively conversation which wasn't restricted to the panel - the audience had a lot of input and the exchange was actually quite meaningful.

However - there was clearly a sense amongst the audience which was pretty diverse in composition - that the whole blogosphere was not really something that large companies, particularly airlines, was having a hard time understanding.

So more this afternoon from the same session...

Cheers
