End of the day at the New Media Consortium's 2006 regional conference. After my manic blitz through Web 2.0 etc, Brian Lamb took the room to whack away at mashups.
Lamb set up a dedicted del.ico.us account, http://del.icio.us/diygonewild, and invited the audience to sign in and tag. Good idea - we slaved away like mad.
Topics: mashups as modernism, but as ancient cultural movement. Antiauthoritarianism. The bogey copyright.
Some mashups touched on: Riot browser. The Teacher as DJ.
Arguments: can we use a Digg approach for educational content? Does a short-term blog (a semester) go against the idea of blogs as emergent voices, given how long it takes for the latter to arrive?
Wish I was there. I'll be following vicariously.

He is a good friend that speaks well of us behind our backs.
