That was terrible! I mean, forget about if it was arrogant or whatever, it was just plain boring!

“the public identified 500 questions as those most likely to initate open dialog“
um… i don’t think “initate” is a word.
apparently there aren’t many copy editors that high up in the ass.

David Armano, pyramids freak people out. I blame John Calvin.

Hugh,
How come when I put a pyramid on my blog, everyone freaks out and tells me about fifty different ways that the blogosphere is in no way a pyramid.
But when you put one up on yours, nobody bats an eyelash?

Gotta love a forever cynic. If nothing comes out of the event, at least it shows no mortal should try to make the world a better place without approval from the blog elite.

Disagree, Niko.
One of the most effective ways of keeping one’s head up one’s ass is to shroud it all up in good intentions. And if you can tie your own puny, portentous agenda to something of global import, even better.
Just my opinion.

Ow that site is pretentious!
It seems very left-wing but I love the irony that they’ve been given chauffeur-driven Mercedes to “ride around Berlin in”.
These folks never heard of public transport, or, God forbid, walking?

As said, “how effective the big bang approach is, is debatable”. But they are free to try, and I argue this trying still keeps their heads below the ass level. Let’s wait and see what the graph looks like next week.

Big attention bang? What big attention bang? http://www.alexaholic.com/gapingvoid.com+www.droppingknowledge.org

I hate to be the one liking the droppingknowledge concept.. but anyway, if you read further than the pyramid, the point of the round table event is to *start* a discussion, which should be had between people, not the great minds.
Not everything has to start with humble geeks blogging away 3 years, hoping to make the a-list. Some things can be started with a big bang. How effective the “big bang” approach is, is debatable. But creating a big attention bang doesn’t automatically mean the people involved are up their asses.

Did you see the questions that are vying to by asked to the so-called Great Minds? This is one of them:
“How do we reduce the elitism of knowledge such as your event? Why do the masses ask you and not the other way around? Can you not ask questions of us and allow us to answer. Cartainly we have better answers being more minds than you.“

That sounds like the Cluetrain pulling into Eliteville station…
