Well, ETech was a wrap Thursday afternoon, so Friday morning I was up early trying to net it out so I could file a story to my editor at Conferenza, Gary Bolles, who’s based in San Francisco. I last saw Gary at Demo ’07, and am looking forward to seeing him again in SF in mid-April at Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher’s “D” Launch Party. Gary’s the cofounder of Conferenza, and the site’s URL is now http://conferenzablog.typepad.com. The link for my story is here.
Update: To include the specific Conferenza link for my ETech recap.
I went to the first 3 ETechs, but stopped going because none of the technology presented had any surprises. It just wasn’t that “emerging”. Most of it already had the blog buzz, and it just seemed a silly reaffirmation that bloggers were “in the know.”
I wanted to see more crazy technology, and less blog buzz.
However, the hallway conversations were great. I always came away with good ideas.
