eMetrics Recap in 100 Words
Highlights from eMetrics SF 2008:
Tom Davenport’s keynote was inspiring. He communicates what we’ve known all along – the importance of analytics - straight up to our executives.
Jakob Nielsen’s presentation was captivating. His videos of user testing sessions drew laughter; we can all relate.
Industry Insights Day was 100% worthwhile. Sharp minds; lively conversation. Similar in spirit to X Change.
Zero newsworthy vendor announcements. Google Analytics unveils “almost” real-time processing. Ho-hum.
WAW was a smashing success. My super co-host Eric Peterson applauds the feat – and fête.
Our Twitter backchannel was a fun experiment. Let's do it again, Clint.
That's all!
Hey June! The backchannel was totally fun, and I think at least semi-valuable.
I'm totally bummed that I missed your WAW blowout - sounds like it was quite the soiree.
You can host the next backchannel ;)

Hey June! Very nice and short recap. I was glad to meet you finally. The largest ever WAW was really great. It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know WA celebrities like you :) Let's do it again and break the record next year!

Clint: You bet I'll host our Twitter backchannel in DC! May the gods of cell phone reception look favorable upon us.
Jonghee: I'm glad you enjoyed WAW, and it was great to finally meet you in person. I think it's funny that, when we met, the first words out of my mouth were, "Hi, I mailed you an Urchin sticker!"

Hi June, Great little post! I am still looking forward to attending an Emetrics summit soon. I hope to be at the one in London. I followed the twits in the backchannel, so it kind of felt like I was there. Will you be in Europe any time soon?
