I am just back from Blog World & New Media Expo in Las Vegas.
Mike Arrington was listed on the conference’s homepage as a speaker on the topic of technology. He’s listed on the Blog World speakers page.
But he didn’t show.
From his post yesterday at CrunchNotes, the no-show was caused by a communication misfire. The organizers of Blog World took his “Sure, whatever” as a solid ACK.
Then the organizers depended on email for further communication — email he never saw or responded to.
Whoops.
Yeah, Arrington should have plowed through his email. Uh-huh. Everybody who cleans out his inbox daily, please raise your hand.
Yeah, the organizers should have recognized a lack of response as a clue that the link was down. Sure. Everybody who thinks “No news is good news,” please raise your hand.
Plenty of material available on all sides for everybody to say: oops, I goofed.
Nothing else to see here. Time to move along.
