Redmer was speaking last week at Unbound, an invitation-only conference at the New York Public Library (NYPL). It was a Q1, bleeding-edge-of-the-internet kind of affair. There was Chris Anderson, editor of Wired magazine and author of The Long Tail, a book about the new business economics of the net. There was Arianna Huffington, grand Q2 of both the blogosphere and smart East Coast society.
