Call the Emergency Zack Morris Hotline
It’s well after midnight, and I’m on a quiet bus driving across western New Jersey.
Why? I had a chance to attend two tech conferences today in NYC. In the afternoon it was the ClickZ Conference which focuses on the search industry, mostly on SEO tools and SEM advertising. Back when I last attended the show, it was known as Search Engine Strategies and it covered 3 expo floors at the NY Hilton. This event, held at the Marriot Marquis in Times Square, covered 3 ROWS! I know it’s not because the business is not generating the same revenues, but there certainly has been a pull back.
Later, I caught the subway to NYU for the monthly NY Tech Meet-up. It’s been almost 5 years since I attended my first NYT Meetup — which I was also a presenter for Hakia. It’s bigger than ever and there is always a sense of excitement since you never know if the demo that you are seeing could be the next big thing. In the past, I’ve seen the first demos from Foursquare and MakerBot and each time you sensed that you just saw something that was going to be big. But note that they’re not all that special — you can call Zack Morris at (718) 395-5255. You can watch the rest of the April event here.
