Today I realised that it’s been a year since the wonderful blogforum2, and I knew that I’d have heard about it if there was going to be a blogforum this year, but feeling the urge, I went looking for the usual suspects, and it so happened that I stumbled upon The Copenhagen Project – a recent brain child of Jeppe Kabell and the “notorious” Thomas Madsen-Mygdal – and if Thomas is involved you better listen up:
We are building a catalog of media building bricks in order to reinvent the services we use to understand and keep up to date with what happens in the world.
(notice that I changed “building bricks” to “building blocks” – I find that more correct).
Their ideas seems to be related to a lot of the ideas that I have, for instance regarding collective intelligence, and how to put the computer to more use when sharing knowledge.
They also picked up on a great crowd-sourcing idea – which I’ve been considering myself, and it’s simply to tag posts with a magic tag – in this case tcp2007 – and they should show up on the reactions page automagically – Gentlemen: start tagging 😉 (let’s see if that actually works).
I’ll be following The Copenhagen Project closely in the future, now if they only had a Jaiku channel – hint hint ;-)?
So what about the blogforum?
I suppose that someone has to organise the blogforum if it’s going to happen again, I’m not much of an organiser – but I’ll sure lend a hand if someone picks it up, because it was nothing short of inspirering, and it made me blog up a storm.
Blogforum2 had some spin offs, one was a survey, BlogTjek 07, that got press from big media, the other is the Blogfond – an attempt at creating a foundation to support the blog community (and then I just discovered that the board is considering pulling the plug – if we do, let’s at least have a party ;-)).

Blogforum proces: send an email to 10-20 people and setup a process with 2-3 meetings to plan it. (and to put pressure on, book a place and set a date).
But interesting that you’re feeling the “itch” – i discussed it with some other people some weeks ago that we really should get together and do it again…
You’re right, that’s exactly the way I usually organise things – hmm. I am an organiser? setting the date and the venue is the hard part, and that’s not exactly hard is it?
I think you answered that one…
