Echo Chamber, redux: Are we

Echo Chamber, redux: Are we wasting our valuable brain cells duplicating each other's work? There was an excellent and thought provoking presentation by Dave Sifry of Technorati fame at the ETech Forum. I wish I was there.

Well, here are four (4) different first hand reports of the same talk: David Weinberger, Joi Ito, Doc Searls, Dan Gillmor, and I am sure there were others.

I wonder how many people were in the audience. In fact we can start computing the BQ (Blog Quotient) for meatspace events, the proportion of an audience which is blogging. As it approaches one , you have to wonder.

Yes, I guess we get different perspectives of the same event, but is there enough attention in the universe to pay?
