Alice Marwick To Give Keynote @ ROFLCon!

Fresh off her role as a moderator on this year’s SXSW panel “I’m Internet Famous,” I’m happy to announce today that NYU Grad Student Alice Marwick will be giving our Saturday morning keynote! Alice’s research delves into the intricate ties of tech and culture, identity and online social behavior. A hot delicious taste of what you’ll be getting is available here.

Bad. Ass.

Actually, Speaking of David Weinberger

Word on the street today that David Weinberger, Berkman Fellow, co-author of the Cluetrain Manifesto, and the awesome Everything Is Miscellaneous, will be giving the opening keynote on internet fame at ROFLCon and moderating our first panel “You Can Get Paid for This?” Needless to say, we’re pretty excited to have him on board with the conference.

I’d be lying if I said that Weinberger doesn’t kick major ass at plumbing the depths of the internet and its implications (references: Authors@Google, Internet and Society 2007). For information on him, you can check out an extended description here, though I figure I’ll sum up this post with David’s “No Brain” description of himself:

Him write good.
Him help companies do stuff.
Him smell ok.
