Congratulations, Gary, and everyone else who was involved with putting the event together. Thanks also to your students who were so helpful with directions and opening and closing the sessions. I really enjoyed the un-conference. I thought 20 minutes was the perfect length for sessions, so that we could stay focused and keep moving. I'm amazed that we were able to attend four presentations in the course of one evening! Looking forward to future events. Linda Dessau, IdeaGenerator& YouTalk,I'llWrite.
The event was great! Everyone who helped organize should be proud of themselves. The teachers and students involved did an excellent job putting this together and making sure everything ran smoothly. Let's do it again soon! - Chris Clarke, NATIONALPublicRelations & StudentPR

The buzz was great and so were the attendees. I've noticed that for all their eloquence on, uhm, "paper,"many bloggers get kind of tongue-tied when they try to explain blogging to the rest of the world, so I think that it's great to meet and talk things though together.
Based on several requests, I have uploaded the list of "12 Reasons why Blogging Beats Print" that I presented at TalkisCheap. It's on a separate page on this Wiki. I hope that's all right, Gary. If not, please feel free to move it to wherever it belongs. :>) Thanks. Rick Spence

The presentations were eye openers and definitely highlighted the growing importance of social media. - Melissa Shum, JUZD& JustCuzI'maGirl
Kudos on how well run your unconference was. The timing between sessions was perfect as it helped people to network and I found that the mix of sessions were great. None of the sessions seemed to be the same. I've been to my share of unconferences, I was even the lead organizer for Podcamp Toronto, so it was refreshing to see that Talk Is Cheap was so well organized. -- LeesaBarnes

1. People come to blogs because they are interested in the topic – whether they have deliberately targeted your site or arrived by accident through a search engine link.
12. Bloggers often include links to their other sites, projects or products, making it very easy for interested readers/consumers to pursue deeper relationships with that information, that person or business. (And for many of us, that's the point, right?)
