[audio] open source sex 59: my sf ignite talk!

by Violet Blue on October 18, 2007

005_determining.jpgAs I mentioned a post back, last night at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, I gave a five-minute talk for the nationwide O’Reilly Radar Ignite series — my talk was called “Porn or Not?” and discussed how online 2.0 social networking communities (like Flickr) are trying to police their users for adult (or “offensive” sexual) content, and how that’s working out for them. Or not. Mostly not. I had 20 slides that were automatically advanced every 15 seconds, and by the end of the talk I had veered so hysterically (and hilariously) just to the right of my script (but not all the way off), that I ended up on the stage floor on my (stripey-socked) knees… Oh, just listen and enjoy! The place was packed and the audience really loved it. Yay!

In my new podcast, I have the live audio of my talk as it was recorded from the DNA’s stream of last night’s SF Ignite talks.

Here’s the direct MP3; or here’s a link to the podcast post.
