1. Right as I was entering the second floor session hallway on the first day, the giant twitter stream monitor showed a random user’s tweet recommending the video platforms quick.tv and overlay.tv – it’s always good to see .tv out and about!

2. I think one of the best speeches had to be Ben Huh’s keynote on “Becoming One with Internet Culture” which gave surprising depth and insight to the phenomenon of LOLcats. There’s a really great interview on WSJ with Ben on the difference of Internet culture and pop culture, and what the definition of a “meme” really is.

3. I liked Ken Shafer’s session on “My Name is URL” – it was truly a good bridge between domains and social media as Ken talked about the importance of identifiers, and the effectiveness created when you provide your users a holistic experience.

One of the truly great things about this event was the opportunity to meet so many awesome people – sometimes the hallway conversations can be a more enthralling discussion than the actual session! I guess that will have to make up for the fact that I felt like I missed something – either that, or next time I go I’m cloning myself to take more notes.
