I apologize in advance for any misdeeds (forgotten people, misspelled names, etc., etc.). I have decided, even though I have yet to learn how to do this, I won't have time to enter all the names and pictures from the Expo. I will try to enter names and links so here goes, in no particular order:
Ben Koo - did a nice post for us, had cool sports blooging booth.
Mario Bonilla - came by to discuss his great PR product, PRWeb
Kate Heffernan with OutBrain - we traded t-shirts
Major Charles Ziegenfuss with soldiersangels - it is a great cause and is doing wonderful things for our soldiers.
Jay Berkowitz, TenGoldenRules.com, wish we had the time to ask a few more questions. Will have to explore his site.
Patrick Hewitt, GM of Sitemeter. We discussed how we will track the success of our adventure at Blogworld.
John Pozadzides with Layered Tech, He got us a beta of Woopra and introduced us to Lorelle Van Fossen. We have already called Lorelle and hope to get together with her soon. She is a neighbor in the Great Northwest.
Jim Forde, born and raised in Hawaii (I could identify, I'm a graduate of Kailua High School - go Surfriders!) He wore a different Hawaiian shirt each day-both nice.
Ted Murphy - how could we forget. He climbed up on our Concrete Mixing Trailer to have a picture taken.
David Wolf - he interviewed us but I have yet to chase it down on the net.
That's it for now. Maybe I will get to 10 more tomorrow. Or, maybe I'll post some pictures.
It was so great to meet you both and I'm eager to get to know my new neighbors in this beautiful state! And what an experience. I think you learned more than most of the attendees, but we learned even more from you! Thanks for letting us be a part of your experiment and I'm eager to read a synopsis on how this event really worked for you.
Thanks!!!
