I went to the Forward Technology Conference here in Madison today. The keynote speakers were Dave Winer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Winer) and Rimus Buinevicius (former CEO of Sonic Foundry).
Although I don’t consider myself an entrepreneur, I found it very interesting. I find it enriching just knowing who are the new companies in Madison and the back stories of the now-successful companies that were scrappy startups years ago.
I follow Dave Winer on Twitter. He has very, very interesting ideas on the future of news consumption. He creates what he calls rivers of news, live feeds from various RSSes that cascade down the screen. I saw from his posts that he was in Madison. Glad that you went.
I need to start following you around; you keep going to what sound like very interesting meetings.
Brian Casey – heh, I’d be happy to share a calendar. 🙂 It should be quieter after this weekend when the Forward Technology Festival ends
