[My running notes on Marysia Cywińska-Milona's talk auto-erased themselves. Aarrggh. Excellent talk. Rough reconstruction follows.] Maria is a Polish blogger. There are 100,000 Polish bloggers, 62% by women. 90% written from home, and a huge percentage are written by people younger than 20. So, why are so many young Polish women writing blogs, she asks? She suggests that, psychologically, they are lonely and are willing to make themselves "nude" in order to get a response. She disagrees with what I said in my keynote: the Polish blogs are online diaries, without a lot of links. "Does this make us underdeveloped or just different?" she asks. (But, she later talks about how Polish blogs are dialogues and build communities, which was my point.) Blogs are also popular because they're cheap to do in a co untry where dialup time is very expensive. She ends by saying that, despite the stress at this conference, Polish blogs aren't about Knowledge and Stuff. "We like entertainment," she says, "Do you?" Posted

He is from Poland and tries very hard to teach me Polish, but it is a hard language to grasp.
Anyways, feel free to post me comments, view pictures, visit the "about me" section and also check out his site
