As I said earlier, it seems that this year’s CES has generated a great deal more buzz than the CES events of years past (I remember in 2007, a strong debate as to whether the event had jumped the shark completely).

I just wanted to give you, the readers and community, the heads up on the strong response we’ve received to our call to our contributors to go and cover the event with SiliconANGLE.

We created a group on our internal network to assist the contributors in getting their press credentials, and today we’ll be converting that group over to a place to get the latest information and news coming out of the event direct from the source and unfiltered.

I wanted to just put up this quick post this morning to say thanks to all the contributors headed out there and put them on everyone else’s radar.

Art Lindsey and I have been working in preparation for anchoring the coverage here at SiliconANGLE, and will be directing traffic from our bat-caves at home, monitoring the feeds and the streams and alerting our contributors as to what’s going on where.

John Furrier will be landing there this afternoon and joining Nate D’amico and Rob Lackey, who drove up yesterday.

Idarose Sylvester will be there along with new contributor Art Fewell, likely concentrating on their normal topics of infrastructure 2.0.

Even White, who wears your shirt, will be there giving us live video updates every afternoon covering what catches his fancy.

Mike Coop, who is still in love with his MiFi, will be covering home networking and other home CE devices from the event, amongst other things.

Michael Sean Wright, Marc Ostrick and Robert Scoble are on a hunt to find a professional video studio for under $5000, and will be giving us regular updates from the show on how the hunt is going. Michael and I had a brief conversation about his mission at the show earlier today.

These are just the contributors that have checked in with me so far.  If you’re a SiliconANGLE contributor, and have an agenda at the show, check in with me, and we’ll add you to this list.

If you’re a vendor or a company with something cool to show off in Vegas this week, if you see someone with a SiliconANGLE badge around their neck, make sure to flag them down and get them to tell us all about it!

If you want to follow our coverage, either join the CES Coverage Group or stay tuned to our CES section.
