from a long day with what you normaly would call colleagues: news world media conference en barna. but the guys from cnn are as stupid as on screen; the lady from reuters: "is it our job to put the framework right or just to give the business people a broader audiance"??? argh, what kind of journalism is that??? bbc- i thing the management offices back there must be really empty now - is better, but listening to those people talking about business news, dot coms is really frustrating. lesson not learned, i would say. also there was this discussion about whom to blame for all the rubbish that is out there: bloomberg: not us, cnbc - oh there are the news today at new york times: we are loosing money? shame on us: our listener lost some money? nonono, we are not to blame. you lost some money?, we feel sorry. talking about the technology behind? it is too complicated, you can´t ask that from these poor journalists, who have to provide business news.

there was a so called futurist on a panel: peter kingsley, talking about video on demand, - as being the future LOL, streaming and semantik web - without saying more than dropping names- also weblogs got mentioned - i have to say. but i don´t think anyone in the audience understood what he ment with that anyhow. actually i don´t think he knows anything about it. just a name to drop. i got on him real hard at the so called dinner from pujol - governour of catalunia - which was no more than cava and tapas. so i got even more cynical about these media people - haven´t eaten the whole day. talking with this former stanford guy, giving him a hard time, and after that i was just passed around to the organizer, bbc, dma, cnbc, pjr, itn and the hack whatever blablabla guy - but god sake i hate tv and i really hate business channels. they just don´t get it right.

but i got an invitation to paris :)) - crazy media world.
