Fortune Brainstorm: Good for a Snooze?
Members of the featured band at Fortune Brainstorm - The Go - passed commentary on the Silicon Valley crowd by crashing on chairs beside the restroom. The distant member of the band in this photo clearly used his university years to perfect the “reading-not-sleeping” pose. Too bad his heavy breathing gave it away.
As for conference malcontents, blogger Tom Foremski, first complained of dull panels before complaining that Om Malik stole his line that “Silicon Valley is now a Media Valley”.
Hardly poetry, but apparently enough to fuel a feud, Silicon Valley-style.
Foremski rolled out proof on his blog by referencing a quote by him on the front cover of Nikkei Magazine last year and an interview with Japanese TV crew that took place in his living room this year. He then urges readers to Google “Media Valley” to see whose name pops up.
Just me, or is there an echo chamber effect in Silicon Valley?
Apart from Wifi access, the event has been excellent for me. Have spent most of my time in one-on-one discussions in the corridor with the great crowd assembled by Kirkpatrick and Fortune.
