Attending the We Media Global Forum is a surreal event when you're an Avon Lady. I'm sitting on a stuffed white plastic cube, my computer plugged into a scratched green tower. Seems like I'm the only person here who isn't a journalist or political/news blogger.
Most of the media folks are from old school media. It looks to me like they are trying to go into the future by talking... and talking... and talking... about it. But you know what? The really new stuff happens unpredicably. I think the discussing will lead to new ideas, and I'm watching it closely. I'll have much more to say when I find a little time!
When I meet people and introduce myself, most people laugh. Some have asked me directly: What are you doing here? An Avon Lady? I'm surrounded my journalists and people with political backgrounds. It's a good question - Why are you here? - and I'm not sure I can answer it. I'm fascinated by the media discussion.
I'm covering the next talk for the Media Center blog, so please follow along here. This will be "live blogging" so I will update the entry every few minutes with more information, so refresh for the latest.
