SMX West The Experience
Hear I am dusting off my blog, and I really mean dust it off (phewwwww) I am currently at SMX West and once again getting the shot in the arm (ouch) to get back to work with my blog. Once I get the itch I write, but then life gets in my way.
My review, SMX has done a great job of knowing what people want to hear. The keynote speaches so far have been right on. Danny Sullivan spoke on the first day about where search is going (always a good topic) and he did have a lot of relevant information, web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 …. infinity. What does it all mean. I think we are all struggling, and no one so far has the answer. The big buz is blended search, personalized search, yes just get noticed, (lift up your petti-coat). Mixing everything, from maps, images, videos, books, blogs condensed into one page and we don’t want to look like Costco.
One of the moderators Vannessa Fox, has a website VannessaFoxNude.com, having the word nude in her url you can imagine the ’great’ hits she must be getting. But truly that is what it is all about bearing our souls to each other, and doing in anonimously?
Here I am with a new a shot in the arm, the orignial Google Addict once again learning how to position my search engine marketing. I am getting to old for this? Hopefully you will read more, but wait I can’t stop now, I had a long conversation with a group of eBay boys (and they were cute) about how my experience with eBay has disolved. I started with eBay 8+ years ago when it was truly a community and I expressed to them how I feel eBay has lost that true communtiy feeling and that I miss it. There were a group of us with cottage industries that just got swallowed away by the “POWER SELLERS”. ebay truly was one of the first social networks, that went wrong. What are your thoughts?
