I went to last year's vloggercon with my teenage daughter, and we both
mostly enjoyed it. I did feel a little wallflowerish at times, but
that was partly due to jetlag, partly due to my inability to toot my
own horn (there were a couple of overpowering egos in the group), and
my own somewhat cynical nature. I feel a bit of an oddball in this
group even online, because I can't convince myself that videoblogging
is going to save the world (however much I would like to believe
that), and I don't assume that capitalistic impulses are necessarily
evil. <grin>

I don't think that anyone at vloggercon 2005 was trying to out-cool
anyone else, though I did find more to talk about with Jakob's mom
than with Jakob. (She's way cool, I wish she'd kept in touch.)

I can't be there this year (TVBLOB will be doing our first public beta
test, and I'm in charge), but I do hope that all the "oldies" and
"innies" will make a concerted effort to make the less-famous and the
newbies feel welcome to share the limelight.
