OpenText’s LiveLinkUp conference began today in Phoenix.
Last year I attended LinkUp as a participant. This year finds OpenText, the company, much bigger, having recently acquired Hummingbird (and the RedDot CMS that came with it). So I was understandably interested in what things look like from the conference floor and I rather thought someone would be blogging from the LiveLinkUp conference.
Sadly, my Technorati searches only came up with one LinkUp blog… not a real blog since it was a trade publication and much of the content was (yawn…) text from Open Text’s recent press release on their new release.

Yes, we definitely agree that Open Text needs to start a blog. Hopefully by the time next year’s LiveLinkUp rolls around we will have some blogging happening from the show floor. We concur that press releases are by no means a subsititue for personal observations and interaction with show attendees.

Great!
You needn’t feel alone, by the way. The ECM Blog noticed FileNet and Vignette were also missing from the Blogosphere.
