Joho the Buttkicker: David Weinberger

David Weinberger was one of the first bloggers I started reading. Unknowingly, he became a mentor for me. When I jumped on the blogging bandwagon to create a nonprofit technology resource, he showed me that an authentic personal voice was the most powerful conduit to convey ideas and information – creating sticky content that strikes a balance between the formal and informal.

Formally kicking off the NTC, David's presentation and speech struck that perfect balance he does so well on his blog Joho the Blog. Funny, insightful, academic, and down to earth, David led us through the evolution - and impact of that evolution – of content, ideas and organization from the physical (e.g. libraries, Encyclopedia Britannica, newspapers) to the digital (Amazon, Wikipedia, blogs).
