The Register is totally bummed about bloggers at SXSW

At least one of their writers Ashlee Vance in Chicago is giving off that feeling in this piece:

Does Robert Scoble really work at Microsoft? One has to wonder after seeing his name appear on the SXSW speaker list. Scoble seems to scoot around the country - by Segway most likely - annoying all kinds of audiences with his "revelations" about blogging. Shouldn't someone be required to write something interesting before being asked to talk about writing interesting things?

Or maybe you prefer, the Wonkette, Sean Bonner, Jason Calacanis, Henry Copeland, Jason Goldman, Jon Lebkowsky, Cameron Marlow or Tony Pierce. Surely one blogger is plenty to describe the idea of an online journal. It's not hard to imagine the SXSW organizers looking back on this year's lineup with shame.

d00d! I'm part of the elite of the dreggs! Luckily I have my trusty "online journal" to write un-interesting things on, like, oh, i dunno, maybe the fact that we're not speaking at SXSW, we're speaking at SXSWi - the "interactive" portion of the conference - so I'd be surprised if there was a single person in attendance who doesn't already know what a blog is which means there won't be a lot of "describing the idea." But thanks anyway!

This is a single entry on a blog written by me, Sean Bonner. Please feel free to look around or even join in whatever conversation might be going on. Or don't. See if I care.






Sean Bonner has been annoying people on the internet since 1994. Currently he lives in Los Angeles and is the co-founder of Metroblogging. Despite growing up in Bradenton, Yahoo! thinks he's the most important "Sean" on the internets. He's sick of labels. This was his blog until sometime in 2007 when it broke.
