If you didn’t know, I’m a huge advocate of Twitter. Some of you are probably thinking Twitter? What’s that?

Twitter is a great way to communicate with the people who “follow you” all at once, with one simple message (or “tweet” as twitters call them).

This year’s PubCon was the biggest to date with five different tracks going on simultaneously. The tracks included Social Media, Linking and WebMasterWorld, SEO:Organic Search, SEM: Search Marketing, and the Advertising Track.

Domainers Round Table

I spoke and/or moderated on four different panels. One of the sessions I moderated that didn’t get a lot of press, but should have, was the Domainers Round Table. Panelists Jeff Libert, Moniker’s Victor Pitts and Dale Porter from TheNameStore.com lead an open discussion on domain related issues. Victor Pitts provided an overview presentation on the world of domains.
