Northern Voice Keynote

Tim Bray just finished his keynote. It was a good overview of blogging, some do's and dont's. What I found even more interesting (and Tim was quite intersting) was the crowd. The room was full - standing room only! 220+ people. There were about 20 people in the crowd who don't blog (but are curious). There was even one person who hadn't heard of "Sun Microsystems" - "Is that related to the newspaper?" Quite a different group than I'm used to at conferences, but it's absolutely amazing to see the diffusion of blogging. Robert Scoble just got set up. I'll pay attention now...
