I'm blogging from the "networking" breakfast. The registration hall has some big name booths, including GM and Microsoft. GM will be test driving sports cars an hybrids in the parking lot later this afternoon.

The vibe is corporate, but we're being courted as consumers, not as players. There was a lot of wooing and sucking up at YearlyKos, but at least there was an acknowledgment the the "sellers" and the "buyers" needed each other to achieve some common goal.

Today's workshops are focused on the technical aspects of blogging, podcasting, and multi-media. The agenda for tomorrow is dominated by discussions of blogging and something known as "blog culture."
