I sat with Greg Schwartz for the morning keynote by Lee Rainie, the Director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project. The statistics Lee gave us were quite intriguing about who uses the Internet for what and who doesn’t. It seems that there are now more women online than men. His talk will be available online in the next few days. As soon as I can find it I’ll post a link to it here.
Also, the latest news on the proceedings is that the truck they were being shipped on broke down somewhere along the way. The proceedings should be available for pickup at the registration desk sometime early this afternoon.
