Since I can’t be at CA World 2008, I’m hoping that people that go will be able to report and post their content directly from CA World onto the internet from this blog site, for the benefit of Genners worldwide.

There are a number of ways that you can report :

1)       email: You can email caw2008@gentalk.biz – the Subject of your email will become the title of the post, and you can add 1 email attachment, such as a picture. Note that this must be an attachment, not an in-line image, which won’t work!

2)       flickr: You can email hold18ice@photos.flickr.com any number of pictures – the subject line becomes the title of the picture and the body of the email becomes the description.

3)       Second Life: You can log on to Second Life and click on the CA World 2008 Feedback device in the Mini CA World 2008 area of the Gen Village.

4)       web: Head over to gentalk.biz/blog/secondlife/WEB-CAW2008-microblog.php”>http://gentalk.biz/blog/secondlife/WEB-CAW2008-microblog.php to register a comment (single lines only)

Both (3) and (4) will be displayed as “microblogs” in the right hand sidebar of the gentalk.biz, (2) will allow the pictures to be displayed as a random Flickr Feed in the sidebar, but (1) will be a fully-fledged blog post!.

Some of these mechanisms can be achieved from mobile devices, right from within the centre of the action!

Note that there will be some delays in the main blogs appearing in the site, as they need to be approved by me, but I’ll only be checking spelling and layout, to make it compatible with the rest of the site, the pictures will refresh each hour, and the microblogs (since they rely on CAPTCHA technology) will be instant.

As usual with these tools, and abusive or unsavoury content will be removed as soon as I am aware of it (should any get through).

I’m hoping that those not fortunate enough to get to Las Vegas this time can at least soak up some of the atmosphere by those kind enough to post snippets here, and also hoping that we can get a live feed (somehow) from CA World 2008 – watch this space!

PS – if anyone is thinking about posting videos, please don’t use the mechanisms described above – contact me directly on info@gentalk.biz and we can discuss an alternative route.
