Sellout

Yesterday we announced that the Economics of Social Media conference is sold out. If my inbox this morning is any indication, no one believes us. Really, folks, we're full. If we let anyone else in, the fire marshal will get involved.

You know where it is. You don't need me to direct you there.

Here is a small piece I have on paidContent today. I'm going to stop pointing to a paidContent piece every time I post one, because (a) there are too many of 'em, and (b) anyone interested in digital media news should be reading it daily anyway, particularly the 99 percent of posts not by me. So ... go there. And, while you're there, consider signing up for our fabulous conference.
