Neal Pollack, Babble's Rebecca Woolf Get Their Say at South by Southwest

Posted by Patti

Arvind Grover is liveblogging the events he's attending at this year's South By Southwest Interactive festival, and one of those events just happens to have been Monday afternoon's Alternadad Live, featuring Neal Pollack and Babble blogger Rebecca Woolf.

Grover's notes are here at his 21Apples blog. It looks like, surprise surprise, Rebecca and Neal were obligated to speak on the (deep sigh) Hipster Matter. It's hard to tell how it really went from Grover's notes, but there are tantalizing clues: The panelists discussed their motivations for blogging, the ethics of using children as blog fodder, and seem to have at least attempted to define that pesky label. I'm looking forward to getting the scoop from both Rebecca and Neal.

Grover, who works in education, also noted that he should probably start reading parenting blogs. Hi, Arvind!

hi Patti, thanks for linking to my writeup. The liveblogging was tough. I kept thinking I should add commentary, but then the pesky speakers kept saying more things!

When I get back to New York I will definitely post some reflections. I thought Neal and Rebecca put some really interesting points on the table. I found the whole hipster parent thing interesting (obviously hadn't heard it before). They were funny and informative and the ethics of being a parent blogger was a great discussion item.

I am interested in how my students' parents can learn about helping their kids be online appropriately. Are their good parent bloggers writing on the hot topic of kids posting stuff on MySpace, Facebook and the like?
