So the first day is on - and especially twitter is the place to follow the buzz if you’re not here.

As Ethan Zuckerman said at the opening keynot: Today is about fighting the countries that’s blocking web2.0 - tools - the tools we use to spread information, debate and discuss ; blogs, video, rss, and numerous sociale media services

So we’ll be discussion how these tools are blocked and how activists can fight it - and make space for free speech.

Tomorrow I’m taking off for Budapest to join Global Voices Citizen Media Summit in Budapest.

I looking forward to meeting all of the wonderful people that’s driving GV - and there’s going to be about 200 bloggers and journalists from all over the world.

I’ll blog about it here - in english - and in Danish at my main blog , Mediehack.

The two of them are among the most un-orthodox information-thinkers in Denmark at the moment - eager to tear down all conventional thinking about how to deliver information i.e. in traditional newspapers and electronic media - and focused on collaboration and sharing.

They’ve started their project to find out how to gather and organizing information - and share it - in a complex world. In their words:

Everyday the world is growing more complex, and we need systems and tools that can help us make sense of it all.

In their mission statement they write:

We will examine processes in the new ecosystem of information and aim to present realistic scenarios of how we can give rise to better understanding, reflection, sensemaking and global conversations in the complex reality of tomorrow.

They’re building a creative archive from their To-do list   and they’re inviting others to join in.

Please do so - I think it’s exiting to see their findings.

It’s about users and its about revenues from Ads in the future.

It seems that the big “old” netcompanies are on a buying-spree right now; Feedburner bought by Google, Flickr by Yahoo. Del.icio.us by Yahoo and so on …..

It stunned Simon - and would certainly also have stunned me - because he’s no used to bizz-articles in NYT that’s right on target.

Traditionally they’re longer, more analytic and it takes time to get to the point, because all the documentation has to be delivered first.

But with the section Bits on Print Simon’s seen the future: Print-articles that started as blogposts with at more - as he says - “brisk, pithy briefs that originally broke, in slightly rougher blog form, online.”

He actually thinks of a future with a slim print edition with short focused articles - taken from blogs to print - and with tinyurls to longer articles online.

Yeah, that’s maybe a sellingpoint to editors and journalist: write shorter and more interesting articles if you start on your blog.

To focus on the benefits of blogs and blogging when it comes to journalism instead of - like here in Denmark, Scandinavia - to focus on the blogs as secondhand journalism, purely personal without journalism-virtues like balanced reporting , good research and artistic writing.
