Our Connected World - AKA: Technorati Rawks

A couple days ago, I went to Technorati and searched for devconnections. Perhaps it was my own naivety, but I was actually kinda surprised when I got results. In about two seconds, I had a list of everyone at this conference who had been writing about the experience on their blog. Each night since then, I go back and check again so I can find new entries and read up on everyone else’s day. I’ve found blogs from event goers, sponsors, and even presenters. In fact, one of the presenters from my second video, Keith Smith, wrote about the experience on his site, noting that it was his first time doing that kind of presentation.

Well, I sent him a quick note letting him know that I enjoyed his talk and directing him to the short video clip I posted. He thought it was great! So much so that he even wrote about it on his site! Very cool! And a true testament to kinds of things that are now possible in our ultra-connected society.

So to kick of the day the right way, I’m adding a new wordism to my personal repertoire: Connectified.
