Some day you'll figure out where the online persona BS ends the the real person begins. LOL John. Some day you’ll figure out where the online persona BS ends the the real person begins.

Like the rest of this blog, it's just how I see it and if that stands out in SEO blog world, well maybe there is a shortage of SEO people putting their opinions front and center. As for competitive stuff, I doubt this blog has enough reach for me to have any real concerns about revealing my own notes of the sessions. This time the benefits outweigh any risks.

I'm more and more suspecting you to be the kind of friend one has over the Internet and never actually has to meet in "the flesh". Not sure why that is... oh, yes I am. Wow Bill….

I'm also wondering what John will post about the final day of PubCon, when we do all the serious drinking. PubCon has multiple beers (sessions) posted on that final day but which one to drink? Unlike the other conference sessions, I drank from all the wells of knowledge on that final day, managed to get past airport security without incident and wobbled my way down the ramp to the plane and farted all the way home. God bless PubCon ;) I’m concerned if John attends my session he’ll probably rip me a new orifice in this blog so I’m taking an inflatable “donut” cushion to sit on just in case he’s overly brutal.

Many with your experience tend to downplay the sessions as to basic, while you noted that you try and learn from even the most "banal" of them. I look (or listen) for something new that is relevant to my current interests/goals/projects. With the exception of a few speakers whose presentations I could do verbatim, I expect new twists to be brought out. If that doesnt happen, then the session is a waste of everyone's time. I like your blogging concept. It is one thing to read Barry's roundup, and he does a great job of delivering the face value content, but frequently I notice how many subtelties are missed from his perspective. I think it would be fascinating to read posts covering the same sessions from many various perspectives, such as you, graywolf, Aaron, Ralph, et al. It would greatly increase the yield of ideas and applications. Great points John, but as noted, people hear what they want to hear and thus the learning experience is different for all.
