Can Ben Hammersley “nail” it again?
Posted on September 16th, 2008 by karin.hoegh
Looking through the list of speakers at the coming Web 2.0 EXPO Europe in Berlin, there is one speaker, I must hear.
The British journalist, broadcaster, photographer and technologist Ben Hammersley, who is now based in London and Italy, is closing wednesday off with a keynote.
As a podcaster and a podcasting evangelist, I must always remember him as the one who coined the word “podcasting” when he was writing for ”The Guardian” back in february 2004.
Hammersley realle nailed it in that article.
At that time I had no idea what was to happen with online radio, and I have no idea that I a few years later should be making a living as a fulltime podcasting consultant in Denmark.
I have more reasons to sit in line for a presentation by Ben Hammersley.
As a foreign reporter, Ben has worked in Iran, Afghanistan, Burma, and Beirut. As a technologist he has written books for O’Reilly and others, built sites for the Guardian and the BBC, and consulted for the UK government. He is principal of Dangerous Precedent Ltd, and Associate Editor of the UK edition of Wired.
Ben Hammersley is a divine speaker. He nailed it again at Reboot 8 in Copenhagen, when he compared todays innovators with the rennaisance men, who designed the Dome in Florence, Italy, in the 15th Century.
Can he nail it again in Berlin?

Actually I think his Renaissance one was not that good, but as you I am really looking forward to seeing him keynote. ;))
