Hi everyone,
Thanks Tish for posting this.

I had to pipe in and say how great this event was last year. Perhaps the
best conference-like event ever, probably because it was an unconference and
the people are so fun and ready to share with each other. I can't believe
how much I learned and how many people I met because of it.

I can't think of anyone on this list that wouldn't get some value from this
event because... aren't we all interested in social networking on some level
(or we wouldn't be on this HT list)? Love it or hate it, social media is
big, and this is a great way to make peace with it and/or learn more.

Hope to see you there.

Val
