Hi there.
I'm Andy Wibbels. I am working on a blog redesign so things might be a little clunky for a few days. You can learn more about my book, Blogwild, at http://GOblogwild.com/. Right now I'm working in San Francisco at Six Apart where I'm the product manager for Blogs.com. You can add my blog to your Google, Yahoo, Bloglines or other homepage. You can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed.
I sometimes blog about Trent Reznor (parts 1 and 2), cubicle slang, D&D, furries and fanfic, Fosse, freakfilters, indigo children, The Secret movie, sexy deliverymen and dungeon furniture. Here's my most popular post.
European Web Conference Hijacked by Vendors and French Politicans
Le Web 3 in Paris was supposed to be a conference focusing on the impact of web tech on Europeans. Instead it devolved into political grandstanding and egotistical narcissism. Some attendees were so pissed at the content that it actually got them to start blogs.
Tom Morris chronicles the whole mess.
I think this is the pitfall of an 'unconference' format for 'civilians'. It turns into a whole bunch of stick-swinging. And the fact that French presidential candidates attended seemed to make things even worse.
