Organizer:
Louis Gray, LouisGray.com
Description:
RSS aggregation has reduced the massive ocean of Web content into something more manageable, but we are still left overloaded with information and manual searching. This panel will explore new avenues for finding the Web's best content, and how this more intelligent Web will affect major media companies, online publishers and consumers. We have confirmed Marshall Kirkpatrick of ReadWriteWeb as a moderator.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What is the definition of "great content"?
  2. What is the difference between "search" and "discovery"?
  3. What are the existing and emerging technology approaches help us locate "great content" in the ocean of the Web?
  4. What are the differences between these enabling technologies?
  5. How can these technologies be used to bypass the manual process of mining the Web via RSS readers?
  6. What is the difference between "related" content and "relevant" content, and why should we care?
  7. What are the ramifications of "intelligent" content aggregation on major media companies?
  8. How will the online publishing process be transformed by these emerging technologies?
  9. What are the potential impacts for the media consumer?
  10. What are the potential effects on bloggers and smaller publishers?

Yep, this is one of the things I obsess about too ;) You've got to get Alan Patrick of Broadsight (and Broadstuff blog) on this panel, if he's over from London...
