simonw@agpublic if you sign in to Lanyrd with Twitter you can add events/fix inaccuracies yourself - most of our information is added by speakers
Simon Willison
@simonw (a) That would lend the service the appearance of my imprimatur, which I don't care to extend; (b) who has the time?
Adam Greenfield
@simonw Better to solve all these hassles now by simply nullifying the page. Saves me time and energy.
Adam Greenfield
@simonw Point is, #Lanyrd has already caused me headaches — admittedly minor ones, but still: more than it should've.
Adam Greenfield
@simonw It violates the most basic principles of social software design, e.g. *don't start a profile page for someone who hasn't joined*.

tomcoates@agpublic I don't agree here, actually - it's just like IMDB or Wikipedia. You don't have to maintain it at all.
Tom Coates
@agpublic It's just a list of conferences you've been at, collated by the public.
Tom Coates
@agpublic I do agree that it should make it clearer that you didn't create the page and that you can edit it - but otherwise I think it's ok
Tom Coates
@agpublic I had lots of discussions with Simon and Natalie about this and we debated it at length. I think it's pretty honourable, actually
Tom Coates
@agpublic I think it's the same as: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Gree… revoluser.com/speakers/148-a… twittercounter.com/agpublic citeulike.org/tag/adamgreenf… scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=…
Tom Coates
@agpublic We're public figures if we stand up and talk, and it's pretty reasonable to me for people to collate those talks.
Tom Coates
@agpublic If there is an issue, it's design - just to make sure people understand that it's not necessarily you maintaining the page.
