The Open Media 100

I'd heard a rumor that I was a likely finalist for the inaugural AlwaysOn Technorati Open Media 100. Early this morning the list was announced and I made the cut. Thank you, quite the honor! These are folks who are deeply involved in the open media movement. I was probably selected because of my role as co-founder and exec director of Ourmedia.

Lots of familiar names here (and many of them are here at Supernova). Some include: Craig Newmark, Dan and Steve Gillmor, Mary Hodder, Doug Kaye, Cory. Mark, Xeni and David of BoingBoing, Doc Searls, John Battelle, Adam Curry, Larry Lessig, Howard Rheingold, Doc Searls, Duncan Black, Rebecca Blood, Marc Canter, Nick Denton, Jason Calacanis, Esther Dyson, David Hornik, Joi Ito, Pierre Omidyar, Bram Cohen, Mark Cuban, Ana Marie Cox, Clay Shirky, Dave Winer, David Weinberger, Eric Rice, Om Malik, Glenn Reynolds, Steve Rubel, Jonathan Schwartz, Chris Pirillo, Josh Marshall, Om Malik, Ev Williams, Josh Schachter, Ben and Mena Trott, Ross Mayfield, Robert Scoble, Andrew Sullivan, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, Joe Trippi, Jeff Jarvis, Brewster Kahle, Meg Hourihan and many others whose names you might recognize. Nice company.

The Open Media 100 is also the cover story of AlwaysOn's summer print "blogozine." Tony Perkins and co. just shipped 100,000 copies this week.

Very cool. I had already planned to attend the AlwaysOn Innovation Summit at Stanford next month, which is perhaps the best-managed tech conference during the course of the year.
