BloggerCon II -- Session led by Andrew Grumet.
There are not as many notes from this session, that's not a sign of its relative quality. It was good, interesting session.
By far the geekiest audience of the day. We talked about blog creation workflow, audience analysis, adding video to blogs, spam fighting, a just a little about future technologies and support.
What follows are my pretty raw notes that I made while sitting in the session.
(These notes aren't an attempt to transcribe the session. They are just the things that I thought interesting enought to write down. Also, quotes aren't verbatim, but are paraphrasing. Items not specifically attributed, are anonymous.)
Andrew Grumet: When I first read scripting.com it was overwhelming, I ran away... but I read slashdot... and I discovered aggregators...
feeds.scripting.com->rss aggregator
Andrew showed his "live log" page
technorati and bloglines citations
LOTS of robots and spiders!!!
I told about my experience analyzing log files...
Apt Assoc Guy: I'm interested in the relationship... I'd like to see who and how many come back... offender.blogspot.com...
Many site hits are movable type exploit attempts
One guys says he periodically goes back and turns off comments for a group of old posts...
robots file... weblogs.com, technorati, etc, use this to know what sites to crawl
showed nytimes robots file as an eg.
"google obeys robots.txt so it defeats spammers"
Typing in a word from a image authentication scheme is patented
timekey authentication???
cmsreview.com content management systems has list of 60 blog systems
"let me just loop it once..." Jim Moore
drag and drop of graphics in blog author tool would be great
Steve Garfield talks about his videoblogging workflow... "reality news by citizen journalists"... [jim moore makes "that's cool" noises.] Steve may eventually write up this workflow...
Josh Ain wants an aggregator that he can use from diff computers but remembers where he left off.
You can share newsgator lists without using ng.
rss won't validate an object tag???
scalable vector graphics...
someone says he hates calendar based archives
