EightBlack.

Now that’s better. A lot better.

First up, Glenn Livingstone. This is the second time in the last 4 weeks where I have been totally intimidated by someone’s stratospheric intelligence. The first was at Web 2.0 a couple of weeks ago when I met Avinash Kaushik (who I’m interviewing this Thursday).

And the second time was Sunday, listening to Glenn’s 90 minute presentation to a packed room.

The thrust.

A scientific approach to entering markets without risk.

Next up, Dave Taylor. He’s a blogging expert and a veteran of marketing online. A breath of fresh air is all I can say. He calls it like he see’s it and approaches marketing online with the long term view in mind, rather than most marketers desire to constantly have one night stands.

I loved Dave’s single slide that says “The home page is dead”. Hooray. Because it is.

Check out his 2 blogs - here and here.

Third - Sherman Hu. SEO and Blogging wizard out of Canada. He made such an impression on me that in 2 weeks time, I’m jumping on a plane to go spend a day with him in Vancouver. I like the fact that he specialises in the Wordpress platform (which is what this blog uses) and the fact that he gives away so much content via his tutorial sites here and here.

(Do you get the general idea now that a lot is happening in the blogosphere…)

Fourth - Marc Harty. Marc is a master of the PR craft. And he uses this skill to drive unbelievable amounts of quality traffic to his and his clients online properties. I met Marc a few years back and have watched his influence online go from strength to strength.

The content is hugely important to most people when attending these events. To me, it is the coffee, lunch and dinner breaks that are invaluable. Because thats when you get to make contacts like the ones above.

This year, The System Seminar 2007 Faculty proved their worth.
