Of course, the PR stars of the decade - Andrew and Amanda - were there. I'll always remember Andrew's presentation where he made the commitment to have something produced every day, five days a week. I'll also remember the concerns he expressed about making a business out of his efforts.
There was philosopher king, Jay, whose sense of wonder about the power of this new medium seemed to energize the whole network that was being formed. ryanne added her special artistic viewpoint. Peter, quietly and unabtrusively, added his superior technical skills. Steve Garfield added his tremendous energy, and proved that no man should be limited to a single blog.
There was Michael, and his daughter, at that time "the world's youngest blogger" and star of ABC news. Does that record still stand, Michael?
Also there was Mica, Josh, Jakob -- the party host -- Eli, Sean, Kenyatta and the indomitable Marc Canter. I also recall Scott from Feedster, Leslie from Chicago, and David Hall from Yahoo, and Chuck with his phenomenal sense of humor, and Chris W. whose "human dog" also knew how to laugh at himself.
I'm doing most of this from memory, and a few notes in my journal. Who else did I miss?
My thanks to all of you who were there for creating a tremendous event, and a wonderful memory. Even the weather made it extra special. I learned an awful lot from the people who were there, and all the others on this e-mail list, over the last year plus. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience so generously.
I've put what you have taught me to work in a few small efforts of my own. One is a community exploration of art and nanotechnology, and the other is a new business relationship with TEC, the world's largest CEO organization with over 12,000 members in 15 countries. We need to get more CEOs in organizations like this so they can learn about "the triple bottom line -- people, profit, and planet".
