Sadly, the conference was not videoed, IIRC. (The ONA folks did a fabulous job, by the by, on a shoestring. Renew your memberships, folks – ONA is the best org out there right now, followed closely by KDMC.)

My narration? Mostly rants and arm-waving, of course.

What was interesting to me was the level of interest in Groupon-like functionality (readily available through a ton of white-label providers). While no single element is “the” future of local advertising, it’s becoming clear to me that group deals, mediated and curated by a trusted partner, will be an important component.

Traditional organizations: Ignore this at your own peril. (And, really, haven’t you had enough peril over the last dozen years?)

Finally watched it (couldn’t see it on iPad — Flash! That’s what’s so 2009!)

Good stuff, though, like Kurt above, I wanted to hear the running commentary. Did the conference get videoed?

Not that there’s anything wrong with 2009!

BTW, the ultimate viewing experience of the aha video is here:

Hey, I liked a-ha, too. OK, mostly just that video. And I like prezi, too. Nice presentation. I'm sure I'd have benefitted more from your narration, however.
