The first day at Bloggercon IV was quite interesting. Lots of smart discussions between smart people. It was great to meet a lot of friends, some of them for the first time (I'm not describing again how interactions between bloggers work).

One of the most interesting aspects of the day was Doc Searls' real time outlining of the event. It was not only fascinating because it was making notes about the unconference available in real time to everybody, it was the very writing process, happening in real time on the big screens. I usually get hypnotized like this when assisting a live musical performance: I can spend hours looking at somebody playing a musical instrument. There was something similar, creative and magical, in the real time writing and editing that Doc did today for all of us.
