Publishers will be able to directly sell their own display ads and keep 100% of the revenue and utilize Facebook’s Audience Network , their programmatic ad network (which considering the user-data Facebook has, is killer).

There was no viral social networking products back then like Twitter where people could easily discover your content. A gentleman had stopped by our booth multiple times and then wrote me immediately after the conference and said that I “HAD to come and meet with his partners the very next week.” After Office 2.0

AlwaysOn has some of the best conferences I've ever been to. Of course AO many not count because they're in Northern Cal and not cheap, but return-on-time is high. I like to attend events with presenters or panels, and themes that interest me. Highly recommend. More general resources are: Tracy Williams at Olmstead Williams for PR.

If Avesta sees someone drinking Coloft coffee (organic of course), he quickly asks if they’ve sold anything.

I love my dad equally, of course. But this coming generation is much more likely to be inspired by The Social Network and want to be entrepreneurs. You have the super impressive Cory Levy who founded the NextGen Conferences (as well as One, Inc.). It’s how I learned to build spreadsheets. Back to women.

Asymmetric – Before Twitter most social networks had “symmetric” relationships meaning that when somebody wanted to follow you, you had to follow them back in order for us to be connected.
