One of the things I geek over are people's live or nearly-live notes from conferences. There are many more interesting conferences and meetings than one could ever attend, and people blogging them seems to me to be one of the really truly useful purposes of the medium (though of course only a handful of the events I'd like to see blogged, are, and only some of those are done well enough to make any sense of... rather like that last sentence).

Anyways, here's a cool example, Thiru Balasubramaniam is blogging WIPO

Humm,

Ok here is an idea. As some may know I set up conferencebloggers.com to aggregate blogs on the UK party conferences. Similar to conventionbloggers.com.

An idea I had whilst registering the name was to do the conferences this autumn and then re-develop the site so that people can easily set up an agg. for any conference they are attending etc.

That way we can make it easy to find existing aggs for a conference (oreilly do their own) or quickly create one ...

sound like a useful tool? might need some help so volunteers?

cheers,

mark.
