Really quite enjoyed being called a "digerati darling". That's definitely a first! Two points I'd like to rebut though: #1: You have no need to apologize for talking about advertising. It is a model of "monetization" and that is what we were discussing. You did a wonderful job speaking and stimulated discussion which was one of our goals. Thank you! #2: "there seemed to be a noticeable lack of folks from the broadcast side, aside from a few producers who already had a great understanding of web content and how to leverage it." - Knowing a lot of the people that signed up from the broadcast community and being fairly certain there was an even split between the two communities - I just counted - 66 people from the broadcast community and 63 from the digital community (and another 15 people that were either educators or there out of curiosity) - of course there are a few of us in both broadcast and the digital world that have lived in both communities, but that is also a fairly even number on either side. Granted the number of actual broadcasters was low, but there are also a much smaller percentage of broadcasters in total and most are based in Toronto. Producers definitely fall into the broadcast community. And one of the broadcast decision makers actually told me at the end of the day that they are looking to us producers to show them which path we should be taking in embracing multi-platforms, which would make us producers and digital experts the decision makers of the future of multi-platform projects. That said, Meg and I do still want to involve more broadcasters in the future of "Bridging Media" and involve them more in the conversation. Thanks again for being part of the inaugural Bridging Media! Erica Thanks for the most complimentary post Jordan! Really quite enjoyed being called a “digerati darling”. That’s definitely a first!
