I’m pleased to announce Defrag’s advisory board for the 2008 conference: Esther Dyson, Paul Kedrosky, Chris Shipley and Clay Shirky.

At least that’s how it stands for now (these things are rarely ever “complete” - and additions are always possible).

Nonetheless, I’m loving this lineup — here’s what we’ve got:

Esther: internet guru and court jester, and the organizer of the old PC Forum shows (which you’ve all me heard drone on about wrt “greatness”).

Paul: VC, media personality, finance expert and all-around really smart guy (Paul and I rarely get to interact, so thankfully he’s on CNBC regularly).

Clay: Was an expert on “social software” before social software existed (and he’s got a new book coming out).

Chris: probably the world’s foremost authority on startups and launches, and the organizer of DEMO.

Not bad, eh? Let’s just say I’m feeling like we’re starting off with a good foundation.
