I’ve made it home from my first PubCon.  It was great to go out, learn new things and network.  I really think that having the networking time at the end is a great way to close a conference.  It really gives people a chance to get together and ask any questions they have or just meet up with people.

Boston was nice, but it’s good to be home again too.

Yes this post is a little late, get over it.

The second day of PubCon went very well.  It started off with Matt Cutts (Google), Robert Scoble (MSN) and Jeremy Zawodny (Yahoo) talking about their blogs.  How they love the feedback and the human effect it adds to their companies.  They even talked about the ‘rules’ of blogging for thier company.  Basically, don’t be stupid.  Post only what they fell isn’t a ‘company secret’ yet be helpful and interesting.  All three love blogging and are very excited to be able to do it.  One of the best parts is that you get to meet people and learn about them without every meeting them.  Granted, they’d all love to meet everyone, it’s just not that easy when you work for a global company.

Day one started out with Malcom Gladwell’s keynote. I’ll admit I’ve never heard of the guy. However, he was extremely interesting. His talk was on ‘the tipping point’. Basically everything throughout history has had a tipping point. Anything can seem like a huge task, however, once it reaches the tipping point, it can happen with little or no work. One great example was the Berlin wall. No one would ever have said that it’d fall in just one month and cost nothing. But it did.

I’m leaving today for PubCon in Boston. It’s my first PubCon and my second search conference. Should be a lot of fun.
