The Email Wars

So a quick overview. We have been hitting all sorts of great panels. Some better than others. Some have been rather motivating, others have been informational, and a few a little soft. But overall there is a huge crowd here of people from all industries learning and interacting with one another. I have been blogging some and will possibly share them later this week when I get a chance to clean them up.

A few email service providers here, which was a little surprise to me, and some of them look to have pulled out the marketing dollar stops with neck hangers, stickers, postcards, 1-sheeters, and more. Will need to swing by the exhibit floor sunday when it opens.

Some of the people I have met on Day One have been very interesting. Some have been partners or clients, and still others are just Twitter friends from PDX. Love seeing all of them.

Had a chance to hit the bloghaus towards the end of the day. It was a hidden PACKED room of bloggers from all over typing away, swilling beer and blogging. Interesting as one of the people there was a rock accordion player that was playing classic rock and singing. He should stick to just playing music. But it was different and entertaining.

Came back to drop off the goods accumulated from the day, sort through the trash, post this and then off to Dorkbot (a performance and beer drinking opp - yes there is a repeated theme here) and then off to Ave A/RXRFish, Google, 16 Bit and frogdesign event. Should be a good night. Only worried about this daylight savings thing going to happen tonight. I predict that it is going to throw a wrench in a few people’s works.
