This conference is insane. I’m literally too busy to share information with you. I have fantastic notes from every session, and Si is reporting from a completely seperate set of sessions – together we’re trying to cover as much as possible in a meaningful way.
The events of today include announcements from Yahoo!, including the rollout of the API (with 5000 queries per day allowed). Since Yahoo! offers much more relevant results, even GoogleGuy (Matt Cutts) told me today that if SEOs or their clients want link information, they should go there and use their site.
I’ve had other phenomenal conversations and meetings today, including Dr. Garcia (orion from SEW), Ignacio Hernandez (Nacho from SEW), Danny Sullivan himself and dozens of others. I can barely begin to grasp the social and networking aspects of this conference, but I believe it will be highly relevant for the future. Of note is the continued disrespect for the mathematical/scientific/analytical approach to SEO. I heard people commenting during the search algorithms session that they were ‘falling asleep’ or ‘reading information about the next session’ – tragic.
I hope to return on Thursday night/Friday with a phenomenal amount of information, both here and on the forums. In the meantime, I am answering email, but it is slower than usual.
