Node 101 :: NYC Node101 NYC is now open. Ryan and I are officially opening Node101 this saturday in Manhattan. Anyone can come down on saturdays or sunday from 2-5 pm. You can learn how to videoblog, troubleshooting your videolbog, help us teach, or just hang out. Bring your laptop and camera...or we'll have a couple extra for you to use. WiFi all around. Please see our Node101 blog for more details. Node101 is a concept that developed out of our realization that meeting face to face is important. The vision is to have different nodes throughout the world. Over the next several months, we'll be creating a "teacher's kit" and other resources so anyone could start a node. Though our nodes are run by volunteers out of cheap spaces, we believe each node should have a reliable, published schedule of classes. Sustainability is the key. Node101 will teach how to videoblog...but also provide a place where people can talk about the world and why they want to start making media in the first place. Especially here in the US, there are so few places public meeting spaces. There are already nodes in San Antonio and Ojai. Yehaw. [Momentshowing] 7:55:53 PM

Web 2.0 Conversation with Terry Semel Yahoo CEO Terry Semel conversation. Very interesting John Battelle-hosted conversation with Terry Semel, Yahoo CEO, at the conference. The difference between outlook and attitude between Semel and Barry Diller is stark. On the one hand, Diller's conversation yesterday was very much old-media, 20th century thinking. Semel on the other hand very much impressed me with his take on what is required for 21st century media. I'll write more detailed notes later, but here are some quick takeaways: Continued at...
