conferencenotes.org – collaborative note taking
One of the best sessions I attended at SxSW was Justin Hall’s “Geek Out” session. In the session, anyone could sign up to presenta site or just share an idea. One of the presenters was a guy (sorry I forgot the name) from www.sxswblog.com: The ideas is very basic, but yet VERY powerful. We all go to conferences – some more interesting than others – and we all take our notes in the sessions and panels. SxSW has created a blog for anyone to post their notes on the site.
Big deal, right ….
… but wait, imagine you can go back and read other peoples notes, imagine you can real last years comments, imagine you can do that for ALL conferences …
I got very excited in the session and grabbed Simon’s laptop to search for a domain that would adequately represent such an idea:
sessionnotes.com — taken.
conferencenotes.com — taken.
… but conferencenotes.org is available 
.org is better anyway, this is not supposed to be for profit. It is collaborative note taking of conferences people attend. Maybe it even has a speakers center, so that the next time you are asked for a bio because you are speaking somewhere, you can just say “You can go to conferencenotes.org/yourname for my bio and the latest presentations I gave, btw you can also read peoples notes about my talk”. Now, how cool would that be?
Here is the only problem:
I have a job and no time to get this up and running.
Is anyone interested in working on this?
## Call for ideas ##
What should we do with this idea and the domain (which only cost me $7.79). Please post in the comments what you think about this and if you would like to help getting it up and running, but also participate once it is up.
