Defrag Blog

A week flies by and I haven’t managed to blog. I mean, I’m able to spew tweets like a frat boy that’s over-consumed his favorite alcoholic beverage, but blogging? eh.

That said, we’re adding all kinds of things to Defrag - and agenda-wise, there are some notables:

Dave Winer: I’ve known Dave since, like 1999-ish, spoken with him on the phone, corresponded via email, and always admired his work (and significant, and often wrongly uncredited, place in the development of all of these things we call “social media”). I’m very pleased to announce that Dave will be making his first U.S. speaking appearance in five years at Defrag — and we’ll be discussing “rebooting the news.”

Andrea Baker: Some of you know my history in the intelligence world (and if you do, shhhh - mouths shut!), so I was happy to read that Andrea and I share some common background. I’m even happier to add her to the agenda.

Paul Miller: Paul’s about as knowledgeable as it gets when you’re talking semantic web. I’ve been a long time fan of his writings, and I’m glad to finally get to meet him in person at Defrag.

I’ve detailed some of our other speakers previously, but the list alone is worth mentioning: Andy Kessler, Lili Cheng, Chris Sacca, Stowe Boyd, Kim Cameron, John Winsor, Paul Kedrosky, Roger Ehrenberg, Chris Shipley, Jerry Michalski, Louis Gray, Deb Schultz, Buzz Bruggeman, Robert Scoble, Howard Lindzon, Laura Fitton, Sameer Patel, and many others.

I hope you’ll join us.
