Blogging the bloggers

I had the pleasure of meeting a number of webloggers in the flesh this evening, at Katz's delicatessen a block east of my house. I met Doc Searls for the first time, and I discovered that the other Katz's fanatic, Dean Landsman, is a relative of mine by marriage. Don't ask me how - I have never gotten my wife's sprawling family clear in my mind.

Other bloggers and net thinkers present included Dan Gillmor, Britt Blaser, JP Rangaswami, Paul Boutin, Sebastian Delmont, and Dan Rosenbaum. Many had just come from a conference organized by Halley Suitt. Conversation ranged from the Yankees to Apple's new music service to the creation of a reputation-based microeconomy. Most of it was over my head (including the sports talk - I am missing that gene) but it was inspiring to meet some of the folks who are inventing the ways we will publish, communicate, and make our livings in this new century.
