I decided not to live blog the SMX Social Media Marketing after seeing all the people with laptops on their laps. Instead I spent the time listening, networking, taking some pictures, and here and there dropping a Tweet through Twittermail.

My Tweeds can be found at: Twitter/The-Next-Corner

My pictures can be found on my flickr acount. You can use these pictures if you like them, and if you do, you can drop a link back to either this blog, or my flickr account.

The conference was a lot of fun, although at night I was pre-occupied with my mind and in conference calls most of the time. I did went to the cocktail drink on Tuesday night, which was great. Next time I’ll make sure I don’t pick up that 9 o’clock phone call…

In my opinion the best presentation was from Sarah Hofstetter off 360i. Finally somebody who is speaking at a conference who understands marketing through the blogosphere. She was not only a good presenter, but also used real cases, which make the presentations much more lively. Rest of the presentations were goo, but some were pretty basic. I guess that I have been reading too many blogs lately

Most of the sessions have been covered by the high profile bloggers/SEO’ers.
