Mesh Day 2

The Mesh Conference has concluded once again (I attended last year also) it was extremely worthwhile. My thanks & congratulations to the organizers, volunteers, presenters and attendees for making Mesh the great event that it is.

I live blogged a few sessions today over at ScribbleLive and oddly enough, ScribbleLive ended up being the big story of the day.

ScribbleLive (formerly known as ShiftEdge) is a tool for collaborative live blogging that supports photos and video embeds. Two of my former colleagues from CHUM have developed the application in their spare time and when I attended the ICE08 conference earlier this year, I alpha tested the software. But today, ScribbleLive got its big break when TechCrunch wrote about it. The coverage was then reposted at The Washington Post and of course once a story appears on TechCrunch, bloggers everywhere start taking notice. So, congrats to Michael & Jonathan. You guys have put together a fun and easy-to-use application and I hope ScribbleLive gets some traction.

As always, the highlight of conferences are the people you meet. I met way too many incredible people to list here at once. I’ll certainly be posting more about the conversations and ideas discussed over the next few weeks. One of the first things I’ll be doing is ordering a copy of the book Personality Not Included: Why Companies Lose Their Authenticity And How Great Brands Get it Back by Rohit Bhargava who I met today. Rohit also runs the popular Influential Marketing Blog.

I also met David Usher and Kevin who plays with him today and I’ll be watching them perform in Dundas Square tomorrow evening.

I missed meeting a few people that I follow on Twitter. I hope to meet more of you at Third Tuesdays, DemoCamps or whatever new media events we all happen to find ourselves at.

NyQuil and I are spending another quality evening together, so more posting after some rest.
