Sat, 26 Apr 2008 05:43:53 +0000 http://anthonygthomas.com/?p=23#comment-14 [...] The smartest bit of scheduling was to put unconference sessions immediately after lunch. Rather than nodding off on a full stomach, we got engaged in animated discussion, keeping energy high for the afternoon. Brilliant. The social networking session largely highlighted Twitter, which fit in well with the active back-channel Twitter chatter going on. Tony Thomas wrote a little about that.

I think you're right. I guess what I find remarkable is that for years I've read No Depression cover to cover. I've got dozens of back issues in the basement where we record the podcast. I've sent you guys CDs from my last two bands. (Don't worry, I'm not griping about not getting covered. I get that. I don't care.) In 2005 I worked up the courage to approach Grant in Nashville at the Americana Music Conference only to be brushed off. (Don't worry, I was a blathering idiot. I don't care about that either.) Now I write a quick blog post and here's Peter Blackstock, someone whose work I've read and admired for years, leaving a comment within hours. Unremarkable because it only took a Google Alert. Remarkable because after years of trying I'm finally talking to you. So to speak. Amazing. Nice to meet you. -Tony Thanks for commenting Peter. I think you’re right.

It is easy to remove the barriers to use, but it is hard to make it really clear what a service is doing and what the results of interfacing with it will be. that is what we are working on right now, making a service which is totally upfront and transparent about how it functions and what the results of interacting with it will be thanks for the note tony. this is sam lessin from drop.io, we totally agree with your point about transparency being the next big barrier.
