Reboot 8.0 Photos Are Up

I spend the morning going through my photos of Reboot 8.0. I had near 800 of them, so that was quite the exercise. Now there’s 147 in a set over at my Flickr account. It was nice to relive the whole experience while going through the shots, made me realize I saw and did a hell of a lot in two days. No wonder I was so tired when I got home.

Here’s my favorite shot of the set, aptly summarizing the theme of this year’s event, “renaissance?” with Ben Hammersley dancing around the stage flanked by Mona Lisa and a battered PowerBook.

Publishing 2.0 takes it on the chin with “Has the MySpace Downturn Begun?” A few excerpts:Guy Kawasaki held a focus group with six teenagers – this is a small sample, of course, but their view of MySpace is telling:Two panelists were MySpace users. The others expressed a certain backlash and purposeful resistance to the addiction of MySpace. One 14 year old used to be an active MySpace user but stopped after the police came to her school to warn the students about various dangers lurking there.This points to two key MySpace vulnerabilities (among many):1. When a fad becomes overhyped, teens will eventually retreat2. Most teens know that MySpace isn’t entirely safeCould it be that MySpace peaked in April?
