TOC: Morning keynotes/Dale Dougherty

Dale Dougherty of Editor & Publisher, Make & Craft Magazines, The Beauty of Print in a Digital EraHe comes to sing the praises of print.
History of technology is written from an innovation point of view rather than a user point of view. We focus on what's new and not on what's being used. New technology doesn't always replace old technology; often they coexist, but we pay too much attention to new technology relative to how much it is used.
Amazon, the canonical "digital" company, exists only because of books.
Books and Internet publishing can exist side by side. Print layouts can be more sophisticated than online layouts. The Internet is largely a collection of small bits of information, which reflects how people read online.
Long description of Make Magazine (which he publishes). By far the best part of this presentation is the visuals, which I can't reproduce here. Look for his slides on the conference presentations page.
Hybrid of Internet and print is less about delivering information and more about creating a community of people who are passionate about participating.
