Ryan Carson, of Carson Systems moans to me that I should have given him a chance to respond to my gripe before I blogged it.
It didn’t occur to me for a second that I should offer Mr Carson editorial control of the content of my blog when, in talking about ‘Web 2.0′, I used his upcoming London conference as an example of the hype. I still don’t understand why he thinks,
if you have gripes against what we’re doing, that you would give us a chance to respond to your accusations before publicly posting about it
Here’s why I don’t find Mr Carson’s protestation too compelling: the front page of his website carries this recommendation
I enjoyed it enormously
“These workshops are coming to London later in the year and I can definitely recommend that people look out for them.”

That would be the Tom Coates who is speaking at the London workshop on behalf of Yahoo. Along with his ex-colleague Cal Henderson, now at Flickr, recently acquired by Yahoo…So Ryan Carson is carrying an advert for a workshop he’s organising from a paid speaker at that workshop.
Right.
