Google Party

The sessions were a little better yesterday, but still below Webmaster World standards in my view. It is almost like SES - very little useful content, but great networking opportunities. The Google party last night was good. They ran out of food pretty quick, and only had a few engineers. I had a good talk with the Sitemaps team, and got some really good info I will be posting.

Matt Cutts showed up and he came over and shook my hand. We chatted briefly and he remembered that he owes me an interview. He said things would be too crazy to meet up last night to talk search so he gave me his personal email address. I’ll pass off some questions to Matt, and we can hopefully get the interview set up soon. I heard some great techniquest that I had never thought of from some other marketers, and I will be testing those when I get back.

I had dinner with Michael Marshall (creater of Theme Master) and Scott (Salse at Fortune Interactive) … he’s at their booth. I will have all the questions answered by today from our membership - but today is the best day. Jake Baiile on competitive intelligence and, of course, the Search Engine Smackdown!
