Liveblogging at OCS2007

Hey there, this is my first, and probably last go at liveblogging. I'm out in Sonoma at ForumOne's Online Community Summit, a historically kickass conference on online community.

Jim Cashel has just started welcoming us. People are smart and the side conversations are fascinating as usual.

I'm a little dispirited about online community this year, not because it's not important, but because I no longer really think there's much point in separating "online community" from "online" in general. I worry that those of us who remain "online community" gurus will find ourselves outmoded. We'll continue talking earnestly about our topic while other folks shoot off and do interesting things without worrying too much about it. I hope the rest of the conference perks me up a bit.

Okay back to paying attention.
