This series of micro-conferences is a great idea. Wish I were a little closer. I’d be there.
You and me both buddy. By the way the official site is located at: http://confab.yahoo.com/. Though you might wanna include that in your post.
Thank you
Thanks. My link does go to the November archives for the site (only one post for November), so I figured that linking to the site itself wasn’t necessary.
It looks like it should be an excellent conference. I don’t expect any of it to be taped, and available through Yahoo video, but I’m really hoping that some of the presentations are.
Hi –
This will be a great event. See you there. Also, the Predictions Market cluster is here:

I wish, John.
I do know someone who will be attending Wednesday, and hopefully will write a blog post about it. Be happy to hear your thoughts about it if you attend.
The Washington DC event in January sounds interesting. I may have to see if I can fit it into my schedule. Thanks.
