Dave Winer, DaveNet, May 24, 2002

About two years ago I sat at the back of the room and sent an update to the WWWDEV list server about the presentation happening at the NAWeb conference. A couple of hours later I stood at the podium during my own talk and sent another message to the mailing list (if this wasn't a world's first, it was pretty darn close). This opened my eyes to what wireless access would do to things like conferences and classrooms. This capacity has now hit the leading edge of developers, as web logging maven Dave Winer observes in this article. "The whole notion of an audience changes. We no longer have to line up at the microphones, nor are we limited to asking questions. Instead we can relate what's happening on stage to the whole world, or at least that part of the world that cares, and they can help us develop the story."
