Gaphing Social West

200802071320.jpg Last year I last-minute dropped in on the Graphing Social Patterns conference here in San Jose. It was the first generation event and Dave did an outstanding job pulling it together.

I rarely come away impressed by conferences insofar as the content, usually value the meeting up with folks far higher. While GSP has much of that, I also found the content to be top shelf all the way. It’s not that I’m so much smarter than everyone else or so jaded as to suggest all conferences are the same, it’s just that at most of the conferences I’ve been to in recent years there is a reluctance among the speakers and panelists to be self-critical or revealing.

When conference content falls in either “stating the obvious” or “shamelessly self-promoting”, well I pretty much end up in the lobby or hallways having my own conference agenda. GSP was not like this at all and it is with much pleasure that I highlight the next event is March 3-4 down in San Diego and like last year, NewsGator is participating on the agenda again.

If you are interested in a cutting edge discussion about viral adoption of applications, monetization via social ads, user behaviors, content control, and the API of the social graph, you must register for this event.
