At the panel session “Where the Big Dogs Go,” leaders of traditional* media will discuss their future plans and aspirations to utilize technology. Representatives from The Tennessean, Comcast, Clear Channel and WKRN ABC-TV (channel deuce) will participate in the session that is moderated by Bayard Saunders.

“Hear and see what is on the horizon for the media giants - plans, announcements and demos - and how they involve the local digital community as we reinvent the world,” Bayard describes in his session proposal.

While the session intends to open up a dialog with the technology community, it lacks actual participation of “big dogs” such as Labradors, Retrievers, Great Danes or any other variety of large canine breeds.

Sitening Internet Stratagist Jon Henshaw knows how to craft a good headline. His speaker pitch, “Make Google your Bitch!” has the highest number of reads at this point in the barcamp process (see also, Un-process). Yet, despite the harsh name calling, Jon reveals he and Google have a complicated but, loving relationship…

How long have you been making Google your Bitch? (Also, how does this make Google feel?)

When was the last time you heard the familiar sounds of a 56K modem dialing in to connect to the Internet?

In my case, it was only a few weeks ago when I was in a rural part of the state visiting a friend, who has never really had the luxury of a fast Internet nor all of the good things that come with it. He looked at me funny when I said “paypal” and then begged for a demonstration of how I could purchase things using just my cell phone. Sadly, I could not oblige using the Edge network on my iPhone.
