Last Saturday, I went to BloggerCon III at Stanford. It was an interesting conference with a format that could promote a discussion of a wide range of topics. In reality, however, most of the sessions that I attended quickly focused in on one or two topics with opposing camps arguing points of view. To that end, it wasn't very enlightening.
That is not to say I didn't enjoy it. But I guess that I was hoping for more.
I sat in on the Academia, Journalism, Mobile Blogging, and Making Money sessions.
I had an epiphany in the Mobile Blogging session when someone asked about using a cell phone to create audio-blogs. I realized that I have all of the tools to do this now. PhoneValet supports caller ID, answers my phone, and records messages to disk. Radio Userland ftps files dropped into particular folders to my server and handles my blog posts. To get a mobile audio-blog working, I would need an AppleScript that checks incoming calls, if they are from my cell phone, it would then move the audio file to my audio-blog folder, where Radio would ftp the file to my server. The script then needs to create a post in Radio and provide an enclosure link to the new audio-blog.
I am going to play with this when I get a chance.
