Too late in the day to write, but I need to say -- before I lay down to sleep -- that Chris Heuer, Kristie Wells and Brian Solis produced a great "unconference" today on the SAP Palo Alto campus. Chris used the World Cafe format, which I believe has a big future in corporate America. Tomorrow I will post a video of Chris describing how this format works. Bottom line: with this format, everyone gets an opportunity to speak. It's an offline application of "wisdom of crowds."
For a nice recap of cool quotes at EOD, see Jeremiah Owyang's blog.
Giovanni, thank you for your part in making the event a true success. You definitely "get it!"

Giovanni--I thought this was a good conference too..Coming out of the "old media" (ex Business Week writer) and "old guard" technology industry (ex Intel evangelist)the whole social media movement is a breath of fresh air for me. I do think, as I said in my blog, the real untapped portion of this market is the employees of corporate America...As we unleash those voices, the whole communciations landscape will be reshaped.. One more note: good Q&A with SAP's Geoff Kerr...Thanks for this contribution

Mark -- thanks for the comments. And I agree with your point about employees. I am presenting a white paper on that subject -- and others -- next week. I will share.
