I am currently inconsolable because I missed @syfy’s five minute mini-talk because I was too nice to excuse myself from a conversation.
(I really do not like it in the schmooze room. Every time I go in there I like the conference less.)
One talk I was sure not to miss was a panel from Best Buy’s Twelpforce, a Twitter-based help team!

Jeff Jarvis! His talk is called Comments Are Backwards, but it went way beyond comments. So far my favorite talk of the day, though the current one from @lizstrauss is amazing!
More news on that later. First, Jeff’s opening comment:
“Comments are the true voices of assholes.”
Find out how he thinks comments can be fixed: by accepting they aren’t broken – the process is.

Presenting two non-adjacent sets of notes here – one on a talk with a venture capitalist on Twitter’s board of directors, and another about how Telecoms can survive and thrive with Twitter instead of going extinct.
Common theme? Follow the money.

Heading from there to three back-to-back-to-back music panels! I’m mostly getting off the laptop for these (even though I absorb better while I’m on it). Just seems like the ones I should be most intellectually present for, even at the risk of losing some of the play-by-play.
Below are summaries of Social Communications & Radio, MC Hammer, and Real Time Web & Music.
