The Video
The moment I’ve been dreading for the last few weeks has arrived. The footage of my closing keynote at the LGwebnetwork conference is up on their website. Diana Mounter has posted a very nice introduction to it, you can watch the full video in a few different formats and I have a post with more details and the slides.
I’ve been feeling masochistic this week, so I’ve watched it myself and cringed at the appropriate moments, like when my mic fell off. Diana promised to have that edited out, but I knew at the time they wouldn’t… and they didn’t.
I want to apologise for neglecting to repeat the questions from the audience and for the few gross generalisations I dropped in to keep things moving along. Hopefully, you can pick up the context of the questions from my responses.
In other related news, I am loving the very cool thank you gift from the conference organisers.
It was an honour to deliver this presentation. I’m really excited about the Open Web I see developing and I want to share that with everybody. Thanks to all of you who’ve contacted me with your own comments, opinions and passion. I really do believe we’re building a beautiful, free, and open web!
