		<description>"The We Media conference was a joke. it did everything to exclude bloggers, online activists, citizen journalists -- the entire cluetrain -- from participating."

Well... not everything. We did give away 20% of our "open to the public seats" to independent, academic and entrepreneurial media, in some cases paying for their travel and lodging expenses. Though space was tight, half of the media we credentialed to cover the event were bloggers. We held a pre-conference session for bloggers, our fellowship recipients and nonprofit participants on May 2. Dave Sifry, Scott Heiferman, and Global Voices were major participants. So we didn't do quite as thorough a job as you claim to exclude the entire cluetrain. Thanks, though.
