Dear members of AOIR,

this is the official announcement of Blogtalk 2.0. The European 
Conference on Weblogs -
http://blogtalk.net  --  July 2004 and its call for papers.

The conference is designed to initiate a dialog between bloggers, 
developers, researchers and others who share, enjoy and analyse the 
benefits of blogging.  The focus is on weblogs as an expression of a 
culture based on the exchange of information, ideas and knowledge.  In 
the spirit of the free exchange of opinions, links and thoughts we wish 
to engage a wide range of participants from the blogosphere in this 
discourse.

This time we decided to establish a steering committee that mirrors the 
different cultures and economics of weblogs and the blogosphere.

We have Torill Mortensen, who is the representative of weblogs as 
social and cultural texts and techniques thus linking to the domain of 
research. Jörg Kantel and Peter Praschl are representing the German 
speaking bloggery and partly the technological as well as the 
journalistic or more aesthetic aspects of weblogging. Clay Shirky 
represents the domain of social software, usability, trends and usage 
of web technology.

All of the committee are bloggers themselves with one exception, Clay 
Shirky, who is nonetheless present on the web through his writings and 
participates in a group-weblog.

Please submit a proposal, spread the word of this unique conference, 
and come to meet us in Vienna, Austria. The conference will be held in 
the first days of July 2004. Details coming up soon.

For further information please visit http://blogtalk.net

Thanks for listening
