Day 2 at Gnomedex: Content, Advertising, and Wil Wheaton

It's Monday night and I have the TV tuned into Monday Night Football. Below are some of the notes I made during the second day of Gnomedex.

Future of Online Content:

• Hackaday.com - new blog
• Content syndication - permalinks to all post, all comments
• How to pay for content? i.e. NY Times registration, Wall Street Journal $$$
• PodCasting - Downloading content to iPod [How-to]
• Chillingeffects.org - lawsuits for blogging
• downhillbattle.org - covers Induce Act
• engadget.com - writers just focus on content

Wil Wheaton:
Wil reads selected stories from his two books. I was surprised that he droped the f*** bomb more than Jason Calacanis. :-) Anyway, I enjoyed Wil's stories so much that I purchased "Just a Geek" today during lunch.

Future of Online Advertising:

• Google Adsense - Chris Pirillo swears by it!
• Blogads.com - Dave Taylor confirms that one can use Blogads with Google Adsense.
• Amazon Affiliate - Dave Taylor seemed to be the only person in the room making any decent money from this program.
• FOAF Project - Friend of a Friend Project

After dinner, Scott Gatz gave a presentation on Yahoo's new beta of MyYahoo. Nice.
Next, Chris Pirillo gave a 20 minute talk on the past, present and future of Lockergnome. Chris is planning Gnomedex 5.0.

I also watched "Primer" at Harveys.
