Actually the agenda at the conference back in 2001 I believe the theme was from content to context provider — focusing on how media companies should move towards distributed communities instead of centralized media. I think the same day actually deals were made between blog tech companies and VC’s.…;-)

@JensC: Good find — thanks.

@J B_N: That’s what I thought. By context I don’t necessarily mean ‘context’ as in your example with the phones — but rather something blog providers, communities etc. has to offer as a frame surrounding whatever people produce. Although they certainly overlap.

Thanks for the nice words about the site. It’s stay meta and never beta — don’t worry ;-)

Your point on context providers was great. And you are right — At Esther Dysons conference a few years ago several hours were dedicated to the content-context discussion. Nokias new N-series of mobile phones are context-sensitive which can not be said of many products today. By the way — REALLY like your site experience. Dont change anything. Ignore beta and stay meta ;-)

This is a coincidence, but I actually searched micro content earlier today and stumbled upon this old entry from Joi Ito about content vs. context. Joi has been on to this from early on, articulating these issues. Anyway, just thought it was funny coincidence.
