I agree and totally understand where you are coming from. I was there at Parsons as well and even though i enjoyed it, I felt it as very much on the surface. It didn’t really get into why Design Blogging is Changing Everything? Is it because we are getting all of our information so quickly that we try to stay up-to-date? or that we are now so used to seeing thing online rather that actually in our hand?

I though to two most compelling speaker were Khoi and Tina. You hit it on the nose with Tina, she gives you a glimpse into her world and you feel a part of it. That is a great way to build brand loyalty without even trying. Khoi, i think really addressed that we have reached a point were unless you are doing something different the design blog has become very old. But him being very into technology he offered the reality of how the conversation is taking place 140 character or less at-a-time.

Still if we write good articles, regardless how long or short … others will read and that is the point.

& I’m TRYING to keep my mind dextrous. I’m an art school dropout, for heaven’s sake, so I have excess brain power that is not being used to analyze the design psychology of the panopticon within the context of Foucault.
Or something like that.
(I’m exhausted now.)
