Kate - The gears are already turning to put together another event, so hopefully you'll be able to make it to that one! I know how Google Reader can pile up, I tend to just let things go unread after a certain point. I'd love to put you on the e-mail list to get a free copy of the mp3 recording from The Pitch, but unfortunately I'm not sure that that's what you're asking me to do, and I'd rather not e-mail anyone who doesn't want to be e-mailed. If that's what you're after, just go to this link here, drop in your first name and e-mail address, and you'll be good to go.

Jason,

Sorry I couldn’t make it. First I was going to fly to visit my dad, then I had to move unexpectedly. In any case, that sounds like a discussion I would’ve loved to participate in. I’m catching up on my reading (five days away from the Internet and I have 300 posts on my Google reader, ugh). Please sign me up!

Danielle – absolutely, I’ll put your e-mail on the list now.

You’re not going to believe this, but when I left my last comment and put Scott’s URL in the post (according to the timestamp: 3:36pm), I also edited the post to fix your last name, hoping that you hadn’t found it yet!

Anyways, it’s correct now, and sorry for the misspelling.

Hey Jason, I had a great time last night as well – I enjoyed the intensity of the conversation, there was never a quiet moment. Two small things: last name spelled “Morrill”, not “Morelli”. Also, I forgot to sign up for the email mailing list last night, but I really want to get a copy of the podcat – can I still do that?

Cheers!

Warren - Thanks Warren - I'm glad you had a good time. I was glad to see you there! That's an interesting piece from Robert, and he's 100% right that newspapers need to innovate and iterate the way companies do in the tech world. It reminds me of Scott Karp's post (which, I swear I have that freaking exactly headline in my notes from a couple months ago as a post I planned to write) about how newspapers could learn from GM. Scott - Thanks! It's in the post now...

I agree, last night was an awesome success. A great discussion on a topic that apparently many diverse people care about. Imagine my surprise, when I got home and read this new Fast Company article from @scobleizer, (in print,btw) in which he makes some recommendations on how technology can help the industry’s survival, http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/129/scobleizer-breaking-news.html

Once again, a great night–I can’t wait until the next one!
