I am sitting here at the airport with a three hour wait before my plane takes off…yeah, I know I should be doing something else. Maybe putting up some of the ideas from some of the classes. Or better yet maybe posting updates like I said I would. (grin)

Instead of doing that though, I thought it appropriate to say thanks for a great conference. Sometimes I think we need to do more of that, so let me be the first.

• Bramlett–It was great to meet you in person (finally!) and I truly enjoyed getting to you and Wes even better. You are a good example of how real estate is done on the web.
• Jim Olenbush–Likewise.
• Ki. Likewise.
• Ken Smith–fun hanging out with you!
• Jay– Likewise, my friend.
• Glen, Charles, et al… I enjoyed meeting you as well.
• cK -I really was looking forward to actually meeting you. Enjoyed it! Here’s to a great 2008 for Webosis.
• Stephan Spencer-I thought your presentation about WP blogs was spot on . While there may be something that I disagree with you on about how to set a blog up, I’d be hard pressed to find it. I enjoyed the chance that we had to talk right before the Google Engineer reception. You are in my opinion a good example of solid SEO practice. I will post a link up here on the blog when I get home to your presentation…folks who are trying to set up a Word Press blog the right way NEED to hear what you have to say.
• Bill Slawski–My first time meeting you in person as well! I have read SEO by the Sea for years and consider it a reference on Google patents. I enjoyed the conversation and look forward to more in the future.

There are a ton of other folks (too numberous to mention…) that I was happy to meet and / or  I was impressed by what they presented. Kudos to Webasterworld and Brett Tabke for a job well done.

Time to write another post for another blog…and then get on the plane.
