Ryan is twittering from the E & P "Web Leaders" Meeting

I like the twitters when someone is at a live event. I'm working at home, alone, it is quiet except when the little astral bell (my analogy for the sound of tweet coming in) goes off, or when the birds outside kick in with their version of twitter. While I'm working on grades and other solo kind of pursuits, it is quite interesting to have Ryan Sholin pop-up with a take on what Rob Curley is saying, or his other observations.

Scoble does that too, but with Scoble it is harder to discern when he is being totally genuine and when he is sort of shilling for a product or service. With the Qik interactive vid phone app, for example, it was interesting, but since you have to have a mobile on steroids for Qik to work, I wonder if he wasn't getting the quid quo pro. But don't get me wrong, I'm from Chicago and the quid is fine with me, but I like to know -- transparency is what I'm after.

The quotes from Curley, followed by Ryan's reaction, for example to the idea that every video a news org puts online can be pushed to youtube (I do that with chicagotalks.org because we don't have the bucks to do host video), I've heard before when Rob speaks, but instead of feeling out of it, here in blogger den, I'm part of what's going on at the E & P show.

Ryan's regular blog is invisible inklings.
