Jackson Free Press

AAN has posted a link to the survey responses from last year's Web conference in San Francisco. Yes, the Mississippi dude represented well. ;-)

Speaking of the iTodd, just wait to see what else he has in store here on the JFP site. Everyone should have seen the brand-spanking-new JFP events calendar. (Or, just type http://www.jfpevents.com) Keep your eyes peeled for more delightful and delicious updates to the JFP's family of Web sites.

"Todd Stauffer is my hero." LOVE IT. I think I've actually said this before but I think it had more to do with his overwhelming knowledge of standards than "User Generated Content".

Yeah, I've said it once or twice myself. ;-) Let's put it this way: He gives presentations as well as he sings, Lori. He's very entertaining. And of course he understands this Web thang and how to make it sing.

Well little ole Jackson is first after all! Congratulations Todd. I took the time to read through the comments and saw your name everywhere! Nothing but positive comments. Seems like the attendees would be glad to just attend a seminar run by you., period!

His next one at the national convention in Portland was just as popular, and he's doing another in January back in SF. And the New York Press Association brought him in to talk about the Web (meantime, the Mississippi Press Association is too backwoods to allow us to be a member. Sigh.) We should get Todd giving more presentations here in Jackson, BuyJxn—maybe about the need to Think Global, Shop Local! ;-D

I loved the comment that say JFP could have run the entire convention.

Yes, and AAN folks are a prickly lot, I assure you. If you impress them, well. Of course, all of y'all are there with us in spirit at these Web confabs. I can't really explain to all of you how envious other editors can be over the level and volume of dialogue that happens here. Our user agreement gets a lot of credit for keeping the yucks from running off the people who want to talk (and listen), but it's the readers who are just ready to talk, damn it. I mentioned on another thread recently that I jokingly said at a Web roundtable at one of these things that we have a couple of centuries of silence built up that we are damn ready to break, or something to that effect. And I think that's true. Mississippians are tired of people telling us what to think, and we're ready to talk among ourselves. My favorite part is to watch the people who just don't want that to happen start kicking and screaming like mad toddlers and then start their own blogs to whine about us. It doesn't get any better than that to me. (OK, maybe a little, but you get my drift.) A wise man who has helped changed Mississippi for the better told me early in this JFP venture that the more a$$holes we get to whine about us, the better the job we're doing at our mission. And it's so true.
