One of the best parts of putting on EconSM—looking at it through other lenses. Some examples:

Robert Niles, OJR: “Social media provides challenges, and opportunities, for online news”

Kara Swisher, AllThingsD.com: Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Interactive

Rachel Rosmarin, Forbes.com: A New Media Puzzle

Daisy Whitney, TVWeek: Era of Hits is Over, Former MTV Exec Says; PaidContent Embraces Social Networking at Media Conference

Greg Sterling, SearchEngineLand.com: EconSM Conference: Social Media Sans Search (Greg suggests the lack of any panelist from Microsoft was deliberate and that we limited Yahoo and Google intentionally. Nope. Technically, representation from all companies was limited given the small size of the panels and the limited number of sessions. Senior Microsoft and AOL execs couldn’t resolve scheduling issues.)

John Blossom: EconSM 2007: Monetizing Tiny Bubbles with links to his full coverage.

Ashkan Karbasfrooshan, WatchMojo.com: EconSM 6 - Social Media Meets Deals Also a number of other posts.

Mike Davidson: Building a Better Conference Badge: Mike has some great suggestions about conference badges that we’ll incorporate as we move forward. 

Rex Hammock: In between running the mike for comments and questions, Rex managed to blog and take pix. He also wrote about our company and our first conference. A favorite line: “It was the type of gathering where the people in the audience are as knowledgeable as the people on the panel, and everyone knows it.”
