Blogging Indaba Post 1

Rule Number 1 of hosting a blogging conference = make sure that the conference room has internet connectivity (those of you who I expect to put your money where you mouth is and start planning the African blogging conference that you want to see (polemics does nothing for Africa ) – take note).

The conference facilities for highway africa had connectivity, but the room where the DCI blogging conference is taking place doesn’t. Most speakers at blogging conferences rely on having internet connectivity to pull up web pages/links when doing presentations (I generally avoid power-point and prefer to do this instead), not to mention the speakers/bloggers in the audience who want to live blog the conference. Needless to say we are unamused.
