OSM LAUNCH

I am on the 65th Floor of Rockefeller Center, and Roger Simon has just launched Open Source Media, following an introduction from Andrew Breitbart. The key message: a new citizen's media has emerged, not to replace mainstream media but to enhance it.

What I'll do is update this post with some comments as the presentations unfold this morning/afternoon.

LGF's Charles Johnson has taken the stage to walk us through the new Open Source Media website.

On the table next to me is Glenn Reynolds, and he's actually not blogging this yet, but LaShawn Barber on the other table, is.

We're on to fashion blogging with the Manolo. Never paid much attention to this phenomenon to be honest. One of the panelists argues: "blogging is for rich people with too much time on their hands and who feel disenfranchised". Hmm. Didn't catch her name but she is a fashion writer for the NYT.

Kim Weinstein speaks.

Meanwhile on another table Martin Solomon is uploading his photos.
