This weekend I attended Webzine 2005 a 2 day conference in San Francisco about independent online publishing. I was totally blown away by this conference. I felt like I was back in college (I think the average age at the event was less than 25), and I realized that while I have been sleeping the past few years, the world of online publishing and the Internet has been transformed. The energy at this conference was great and the people were all very cool. The conference only cost $22 (!) which I think was an unbelievable value for the level of information provided. I highly recommend this conference to anyone next year.

There were sessions, workshops, and panels on podcasting, video blogging, building communities, etc. One speaker had just come back from Iraq and New Orleans and showed some incredible raw pictures. I got to meet a lot of bloggers and learn about their projects and websites. I posted some photos from the event here, and you can also find more under tag "webzine2005" on flickr, or technorati "Webzine 2005". By the end of the conference, I got really excited about video blogging, and so I am going to transform this website in a video blog going forward. Text is so 90s. I will be working on that this week.
