Twice in one day, XBRL makes it to the mainstream online media in a big way. First at Wired.com and now with a posting by W. David Stephenson to huffingtonpost.com and now I am truly taken aback at the tsunami that has been unleashed with the SEC mandate of XBRL and Obama's push to leverage technology. Tomorrow, I have to chair yet another XBRL International consortium committee meeting - and continue to keep moving the standard forward with my colleagues from around the world on the XBRL International Steering committee - as I watch the Twitter chatter about XBRL away and try not to get distracted from the chore at hand - ensuring a that the consortium has a strong enough foundation to support all the great implementations around the world. Hopefully, all this attention will bring more resources and participants in the XBRL movement - if you are interested in getting more involved think about coming to our upcoming XBRL International Conference in Paris, France June 23-25, 2009 - don't just twitter, participate!
