Deflating the Blog Bubble
Oliver Willis, in Deflating The Blog Bubble, writes:
During one of the Saturday sessions [at BloggerCon] a member of the audience referred to the assembled crowd as "utopia". Now, yes, I loved the blog camaraderie but quite frankly I don't want to be the only black person in utopia. I was the only black person in that room, and was one of a few minorities.
A thoughtful and thought-provoking post on the reality, not the hype, of weblogs.

FWIW, JournalCon wasn't much different. Of the 125 or so attendees, I'd say there were less than five African-Americans, and probably about the same number of Asian-Americans and Latinos. Not representative at all.
