Hehe, brainmush today, but alot of exercise has helped supplant some depleted chi with endorphins : Over in the Valley though, they have $3k Web 2.0 Summit tickets, Lou Reed and the corridors of conversation.

It all reminds me of the start of Michael Wolff's Burn Rate, which by memory starts in a near identical Dot Com Conference although I do like Intel's SuiteTwo depending on how the implementation of the different API's work - And similarly Pluck getting $7m for their social media suite is also interesting incl Reuters as an investor.

(on a per square foot of brain space, there may be a higher output of sustainable deal value at the other Web 2.0 Summit, which had at least 1 more person supporting it than the current US government incumbency :) I did listen to Marissa Mayer's classic search principles soundbites too reported by Greg Linden : "Half a second delay caused a 20% drop in traffic." (dont i know it)
