Our second mesh conference got off to a great start this morning (if I do say so myself) with a keynote conversation I did with TechCrunch<\/a> supremo Mike Arrington, followed by one that my co-organizer Rob Hyndman did with Austin Hill of Akoha<\/a> and Tom Williams of GiveMeaning.com<\/a>, and then the 15 Minutes of Fame with Octopz<\/a>, DemoFuse<\/a> and FiveLimes.<\/a><\/p>\n

The talk that I — and the mesh attendees of course — had with Mike was really fun, I have to say. He took some well-deserved shots at the traditional media (I’m sure he didn’t mean me) and he talked about how blogs need to deal with issues such as accuracy.<\/p>\n

He also admitted that he doesn’t know everything, which was refreshing, and how he would much rather take the immediacy and constant interaction that new media offers, even with its flaws, over the slow-moving and inflexible process that is the norm in traditional media (I’m paraphrasing here).<\/p>\n

My favourite mesh moment so far: when Ted Murphy, CEO of PayPerPost<\/a>, put up his hand to ask a question and Mike proceeded to tell everyone how Ted was the “most evil man in the room.” Classic. The two shook hands later, so we didn’t have to call in security \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Tony Hung of Deep Jive Interests has been a live-blogging machine this mesh, and his posts on the Arrington keynote conversation are here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
