Our Holiday Speaker: Kara Swisher of The Wall Street Journal's Boomtown and D:All Things Digital. About Kara: Kara Swisher currently co-produces and co-hosts D: All Things Digital, a major high-tech conference with interviewees such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and many other leading players in the tech and media industries, with Walt Mossberg. The gathering is considered one of the leading conferences focused on the convergence of tech and media industries. Mossberg and Swisher are also the Co-Executive Editors of the tech and media analysis site, AllThingsD.com, where Swisher writes a daily blog called BoomTown. She started covering digital issues for the The Wall Street Journal's San Francisco bureau in 1997. Her column, BoomTown, originally appeared on the front page of the Marketplace section and also online at WSJ.com. Previously, Ms. Swisher covered breaking news about the Web's major players and Internet policy issues and also wrote feature articles on technology for the paper. She has also written a weekly column for the Personal Journal on home gadget issues called Home Economics. Swisher is also the author of "aol.com: How Steve Case Beat Bill Gates, Nailed the Netheads and Made Millions in the War for the Web," published by Times Business Books in July 1998. The sequel, "There Must Be a Pony in Here Somewhere: The AOL Time Warner Debacle and the Quest for a Digital Future," was published in the fall of 2003 by Crown Business Books.
