Lilia, here's my blog entry from our time together in Graz back in 2003:

"At one point in my keynote presentation, I asked how many in the audience had blogs. Of the 250+ attendees, only three of us blogged!

Lilia Efimova, a Muscovite now with Telematica Instituut in The Netherlands, is a fellow believer in blogging. We had a tough time understanding why others just don't get it. People asked, "Isn't blogging sort of the same as SMS messaging?"

People said they didn't have time to blog, but it's not as if blogging crowds out other activities like, say, parasailing or watching television would. Blogging is part of my work routine; it makes public what I used to do just for myself. "
