44 Minutes of Ed Cone

Ed Cone's CreateSouth keynote, April 19, 2008 from Dan Conover on Vimeo.

I got a request from CreateSouth organizer and Xark-friend Dave Slusher this week: Would I put up video of Ed Cone's CreateSouth keynote? Well, here's what I've got: About 44 minutes of a 45-minute presentation that probably wound up running about 50 minutes. So there are a couple of breaks in there where I was turning the camera off to conserve tape, and it runs out right before Ed actually said "Thank you."

The content? It's Ed, in true un-conference style, telling stories and leading discussion on how online communities work. And it's very insightful and very useful and not-at-all pretentious.

Unfortunately, it's also single-camera video with no bells or whistles. But if content is truly king, then it's got most of what you want.
