Hi, everyone!
I found why there was a problem with my English writing. This time it wasn't because I am an ignoramus in speaking and writing in English, but it was because of the Hindi button on the bar above the writing space.
Today everything is Ok, I suppose. It was nice that my "feedback" was published by Nikolay. Thank you! Soon I will be a star!
Saying star gave me an insight, or just a recall: an hour ago a met Ana Tsolova in front of the block where are the offices of the organization I work for. For Stuart she is Ms. Smith, but for many Bulgarians she is the gorgeous lady from the bTV Morning Show/Block. I do think that she looks very hot. Off course, the subject is far away from the main theme of Journalism 2.0 blog. Also, Nikolay might have different opinion as he might know her better and closer.
Finally, I want that this one will not fade away. I want some of us to keep posting. Bulgarian as a language is fine, I think.

Feedback
I think this is worth sharing!

I will allow myself to write the feedback in English. So, I hope that everything I am going to write will be clear.
Venue
I think the TechnoLogica Educations Centre is an excellent venue. Also, it fit perfectly to the aim of the training. It is well equipped and had enough space for working and listening to the presentations. Do you know that meanwhile it was placed second for the award Office of the Year 2007?
The Trainers
They are also known as the Masters. I think that they outlined well the present tendencies in the Web 2.0 journalism. Also, they gave us a good starting point of what can be the future trends and features of the 2.0 stream. The presentations were well built, without any bulk information: the examples were very clear and on the topic.
I think that after the presentations we had in our minds what we like to do with the technologies and Internet to produce more interesting news and to attract (and entertain) people.
It was very strange for some of us that you encourage people to start blogging without any inconvinience.
The Programme
Good. As for many of us Journalism 2.0 is something new, it was obvious that we will mostly listen than talking and discussing. However, that passive participation meant one thing - that we are thinking at the moment about the theme and we are trying to apprehend it well.
Also, some of the web sites are familiar to me, but I hadn't thought about them as journlist tools.
Perhaps we will discuss later it in the blog the subject of the Content and the ways of manipulation. (if the blog did not fade away and die).
Finally, as we are not into the subject of 2.0 things, I cannot compare the Programme of the training with anything else.
Making a track
Getting used to the locative media, as well as the blogging, was one of the new things/experiences that we have done. I think that if we had some more time we could make "a documentary/report" about the Sundays in Sofia.
The most important thing that we all have to remember is not to lose inspiration to provoke people and to make things happen.
Last
I made a new post in Journalism 2.0 blog but there was a technical problem. Any of the words I wrote turn to some kind Indian symbols/words on my monitor. I believe that you also can not read what I wrote. If there are some preferencies I ahve to adjust, please, tell me. If not, I will start posting from another PC.
Did I miss something?
I think that blogging is a powerful tool. I am trying to implement the idea into both my lifestyle and the organization I work. The later has the basis to start a good and impressive blog.
Also, is the main idea of 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 to make fun and to enjoy the things you do? Ok, if it is so, I will do my best for the future!
Best,
Daniel

Pebbles
When we started this training, we wanted to put the corner stones of Journalism 2.0 in Bulgaria.
Even if they are the size of these pebbles it will be WORTH IT!!!
Oops where did the smoke go?
the famous picture kill by Reuters from 2006.
"Hajj has denied deliberately attempting to manipulate the image, saying that he was trying to remove dust marks and that he made mistakes due to the bad lighting conditions he was working under"
20 Ideas for a Great Podcast PART II
And here is the second part:
Don't interview Jason Fried (boring person).
Try to be natural.
Don't be scared to throw a show away.
Do some editing.
Use music..
Verbally identify your podcast.
Put an iTunes.
If you have something important/valuable to say, get something out there. It may not be perfect, but if you've got great content, some omissions from the above list are tolerable.

20 Ideas for a Great Podcast PART I
I think this also works:
Podcasts should be short. 30min is actually too long.
Don't take yourself seriously.
Be whimsical.
Be Chunky.
Don't Ramble, Be organized.
Cram, cram, cram as much good stuff as you can into the time. Our minds move quicker than your mouth, so do you best to pack your podcast full of goodness and move quickly.
Be regular, but only if you've got quality.
Get decent audio!
Get a buddy.
Make that buddy a member of the opposite sex. Not required of course, but there's something about the dynamic between a man and a woman. The best podcasts I listen to have a man and a woman.
Have show notes on your blog.
If you're doing interviews, don't be Charlie Rose. In other words, shut your stupid face and let your guest talk.

Saturday afternoon
Well, it is quarter past four in the afternoon. We are not tired and we are not complaining ... yet.
Jen has just appeared and showed us the Running stich. Cool idea! I can not imagine how this project can be apprehended in Bulgaria. Some of the students in the National Academy of Art might love it but the things here are some kind twisted and I suppose that soon if Bulgarians implement the project will start to praise themselves as the Art Gods in that part of Europe.
Jen, Welcome to Bulgaria! How do you do!

Saturday morning
Good Morning...Sofia Journalism 2.0!
Everyone is clicking and typing now. No one is saying a thing about what we are going to do today. Will it be a surprise?
Oh, God, Stuart has just said something! But I am too sleepy to understand what it was. Hm, there is a radio broadcasting in the room - too much words, stories, but a wonderful male voice:)
I am still thinking about the second gold medals taked by Albena and Maxim yestarday. Outstanding performance and lot of passion on the ice.
See you later.
p.s. it seems that I am writing a diary:)

Bulgarian blogs worth checking out
As we talked about it today, and I mentioned couple of Bulgarian blogger sites worth checking out so here is a short list:
Nelly Ognianova - very good media law and other media related issues blog.
Julian Popov - quite interesting political blog (probably the first).
and last but not least
Petar Stoyanov - you know why he is here!

end of day 1
Friday day slowly turning into friday teatime. Everyone making blogs and thnking about how they portray themselves online.
Friday afternoon
So, its 2.47pm and we have been talking a lot. Its time to introduce ourselves to each other a little more and to give ourselves a challenge for the weekend.
A good way to do this is for everyone to pick someone else and have a 5 minute chat with them.
Find out the following thigs about the other person.....
1. who are they and what do they do?
2. why did they come along to the Journalism 2.0 weekend?
3. what is the best present they have ever been given. & the present they would most like to have.
4. what theme (or themes) do they want to blog about this weekend?
