I'm spending the morning at BloggerConII.  Dave Winer is right:  panels and "experts" are dead ways of running conferences.  This one is saying about itself that it's going to be a real discussion.  We'll see.  The crowd is serious and intent.  Good group of discussion leaders, including some of my favorite bloggers:  Dan Gillmor and David Weinberger.

Group now plans to sing the BloggerConII song and has chosen Take Me Out To The Ballgame.  Poor accordion guy has to play with us.

I had fun sitting next to John Palfrey.  That made this session worthwhile; real people definitely needed for overheated-rooms in which we talk about blog tool features.
