It's not the Google Center.
The national media keeps reporting that the heart of the high-tech media - known as the Big Tent - is a Google site, said John Powers.
But the gathering place for 500 bloggers and other high-techers that do things like post their video interviews on YouTube, is not coming live from the Google Center. Ken Salazar, a U.S. Senator representing Colorado, and CBS news personality Katie Couric, were among the people to meet the bloggers today at the Big Tent.
"The Big Tent was put up by the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado," said Powers. He should know. Powers is the the founder of the non-profit alliance. The Big Tent sits on the parking lot next to its headquarters at 1536 Wynkoop St., just down the street from the Tattered Cover Bookstore. "Google is just one of our sponsors. I'd like you to set the record straight."
Consider it straightened.
