Politics and podcasting headline at Stanford blogger meetup

Four days after election bloggers meet at Stanford Law School to discuss hot new technologies and the role weblogs played in the 2004 election.

October 28, 2004 (Palo Alto, California) -- BloggerCon III, the third meeting of weblog authors, will convene at Stanford Law School on November 6. Chaired by pioneering blogger Dave Winer, the conference will focus on the politics of weblogs, tools for consuming massive amounts of information from weblogs and professional publications, and will be the first conference to feature podcasting, with many of the leading podcasters present, to discuss the hottest new technology to hit the Internet in 2004.

BloggerCon is a unique "un-conference" -- with no speakers, panels or audience. BloggerCon is a user's conference with three tracks of fourteen discussions, led by prominent journalists, academics and bloggers. Discussion leaders include faculty and researchers from Stanford, Harvard, New York University and UC Berkeley, pundits from Seybold, Linux Journal, and users from all walks of life. Every major blogging tool vendor will be represented among the participants, including people from Microsoft and other major technology companies. Sponsors of the conference include Associated Press, Google and Bloglines.

The first two BloggerCons were held at Harvard Law School, in October 2003 and April 2004.
