Greetings to all the folks I met at Macworld | iWorld 2012 in San Francisco last week!
You’ll find my writing about the iPhone (and Macworld) at iPhone4Tips.wordpress.com and my writing about social media and web content here on the Writer Way blog.
A few final words (from me, at least) on Macworld 2009:
I missed Chris Pirillo’s talk on community (ironically, while having a wonderful lunch with a key member of my own community, a person who mentored me at Apple). But I watched the video of Chris’ talk on YouTube, and it was impressive.
“Putting something in front of people and expecting something to happen is asinine,” he warned. “So what is it that makes community happen? It’s all about what happens in your heart.”
This is a must-see for anyone who is attempting to create a community, online or off — or for anyone who works, as I do, with clients who aspire to create communities. Now I’m budgeting so I can attend the next Gnomedex, Chris’ annual tech conference.
Huge accolades go IDG, the company that organizes Macworld. This year’s conference seemed to delight presenters, vendors, and attendees. Everyone was crediting IDG’s vice-president Paul Kent for the success of the event. I am still trying to figure out how this guy orchestrated the conference and managed to play in rock bands at two late-night conference parties during the week!
I have it from an unimpeachable source that something way cool is going to be announced. He could not, however, reveal what. But he’s highly credible, and if he says it’s cool, it will be. Stay tuned.
