[...] Wright of Lava Row managed to capture some great footage and scored an interview with Sarah, talking about Digg’s rumored takeover and her impressions [...]

@Nathan I am also disappointed in the lack of traditional media coverage. You would think this is something right down the Business Record’s alley… being that she is the author of a great business book.

Just goes to show you that the power of change is in our hands… They’ll figure it out after the fact.

Thanks for the comment John, and I am openly disappointed in the attendance. It was great to see some media people there like Juice, as well as yourself, but where was the Register? Business Record? Cityview? People from the Partnership and local chambers? Hindsight is always 20/20, but I can’t help wondering what else we could have done to drive more people to the event, given the extremely valuable nature of the subject matter.

Good analysis, Nathan. I like what you said about the nature of her celebrity–that it derives from the social networking experience. Also, was thinking that given the state of traditional media these days, including in our own town, it’s a wonder that there weren’t more journalists and executives sitting in on this event. Lots to learn from someone who’s wired into to where things are happenin’. — John
