Do you blog? Chicago Bloggers are meeting up
If you can herd cats, you can organize bloggers, right?
Actually, this is a first attempt to gather Chicago area bloggers to meet and talk about our interests as bloggers. There are at least 125 folks waiting for someone to organize a weblogger group in Chicago, so I reserved a room at Columbia, and here is a call for any interested parties to show up and see where we go from there.
On either coast and even in the hinterlands, blogger organizations exist and provide social and professional kinds of help to bloggers. Chicago is writer's town, but so far, has had no "blogger central." I am looking for other people to help me organize a loosely coupled collective and web portal to connect Chicago Bloggers to other media, to training and workshops, and to other people.
If you are a blogger, please consider coming out for this meeting. If you are not a blogger yourself, can you print/post this poster and get it out where bloggers might see it?
There is no fee to attend the meetings, but as I am going to provide some refreshments, I will accept $2.00 donations from those who care to help out.
MSM types, students, literati, digerati, podcasters, novices, vloggers -- anyone who is interested in blogging and is located around Chicago is invited.
Here are the details and a link to RSVP if you decide to check it out:

Circus protest brings out phonecams.
STLtoday - News - St. Louis City / County: "near-naked 18-year-old woman sat on a crowded downtown street corner, chains wrapped around her ankles, to protest what activists allege is the mistreatment of circus elephants. People stopped to stare and snap photos with cell phone cameras. It was 35 degrees in the sun, but a goose-bumped Amy Jannette said she'd sit there, 'For as long as I can.'"

ABC News: Girl, Slaying Suspect Had 'Secret, Intimate Relationship'
And they used their phonecams to send intimate images of each other back and forth.ABC News: Girl, Slaying Suspect Had 'Secret, Intimate Relationship'
A movie projector in a cell phone?
Well, I was just getting into Flickr.com and sending my photos online as soon as they are snapped. Movies? projection? from a cellphone--well why not? Projection would be a good response to the aging--phonecam dilemma. As we age and our eyesight fades, the LCDs get smaller. If I could project the images at various sizes, I would shell out some bucks for that....A movie projector in a cell phone? | CNET News.com

Money from those phonecam pix?
I can't vouch for it, but it is intriguing (and possibly offensive, as is encouraging phonecamparazzis...) and its online now. Spy Media is paying for photos, including ones from phonecams.
Can you say "revenue model?" The small print reveals that it costs a "token" to list a photo for sale, or it will after the introductory period.
Vanity photo press or efficient market for photos? We will keep an eye out and keep you posted. Spy Media

Ick. Phonecams are only a tool. A jerk is a jerk.
