I just visited the blog the organizers had opened and only 2 posts were published during the conference. As I wrote in a comment that will (or will not) be published, this is a sad example of how the tobacco control community continues to ignore web2.0 tools: no blogs, no podcasts. The main site of the conference also remained very poor, basically limited to the program short abstracts, ie the strict minimum.
That such a conference was unable to employ (or attract) any web journalist that could have provided fresh and original news is quite shocking considering the level of funding one can imagine was involved in financing this event.
Here is my comment:
Dear Voice, I am sad to see that this blog has gathered so little content. It is a troubling sign of the lack of interest of tobacco control advocates for the web2.0 internet tools. Such an information deficit is dangerous but nobody seems to care. Ignoring the internet at this level is -for me- really amazing but that is the reality today in the tobacco control field: 0 involvement.
