Well all is quiet this week. The Google changes and commenting have slowed down and folks are back at it.
This week I was going to highlight 2 things.
First off, PubCon 2010 : Social Media, Search, Affiliates is taking place in Las Vegas. Did not get to go to it but from the Twitter posting, looks like a great conference. PubCon created a list of all the speakers via Twitter, you can access here. Definitely a lot going on and I expect some nice wrap-up articles in the next few days.
Second is a webinar put on by BIAKelsey, ILM:10 Preview: The Impact of Mobile on Local. This was last week and I thought was very informative.
Just wanted to highlight 3 slides that stood out to me.
