Congratulations to Bret, Richard, Graeme and the other organizers for a very successful Perth Blognite. Great diversity of speakers and the talks were just the right length with, in most cases, time for a good Q&A after each.
Highlights for me were Veronica Bowden's humorous and insightful look at personal blogging, Bret Treasure's inspiring Why Perth Should Blog, Richard Giles's informative guide to corporate blogging (which, as was mentioned a number of times, is just as relevant to organizations of other types) and Robert Corr's analysis of the good and bad in political blogging and the application of the Herman-Chomsky propaganda model to the blogosphere.
Interestingly, while Robert maintained a remarkable bi-partisan inclusiveness when discussing the positive effects of political blogging, his selective examples of the negatives betrayed his left-wing bias, which, to his credit, he fully disclosed from the outset.
All in all, a fantastic night.
