CMP is old-school (based in New York), owned by United Business Media out of London - all the new-economy sensitivity of an Enron. So, from a crisis-management standpoint, here is my unsolicited advice to Tim & Co: 1) Get the hell away from CMP asap. Throw them under the bus. Run 2) Issue a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license of Web 2.0 to the Earth 3) Name IT@Cork as a media partner for all all future Web2.o Conferences 4) Get to Cork on June 8 and keynote an apology.

I had the feeling that somebody might interpret this post as a bit of puffery - "we'd never be so stupid" and all; it was more about sorting through my own feelings on the topic, and realizing we had our own opportunity to screw things up, and didn't.

It doesn't fit THAT well. Don’t try to play the white hat. It doesn’t fit THAT well.
