Also, most panels never get into any real topics. I have seen Kelly Shibari on three panels in the past two years. Other than her talking ABOUT social networking, she never gets into more details about it. There are too many fucking people on these panels.

If you want to get into any issue with some substance, you need to have real experts giving a presentation on it. Not just giving you a sales pitch. I can't count the number of times some panelists never get a chance to talk, other than their name and a sentence or two in an hour plus. Its fucking ridiculous and waste of their time.

Sin2.0 has done a great job recording them, and broadcasting those I do not attend. Which is awesome. But there could still be more coverage and advertising opportunities in this.

Also, the conferences should let talent in for free. I enjoy seeing some of the talent running around in their panties for my amusement. They are trying to network and make contacts to get into the business or whatever. Throw in some fresh meat.

I went to 2 forums 8 years ago, went to two forums last year. They were talking about pretty much the same bullshit in their usual spammy way. There has not been any real evolution in the business other than allowing those who steal content, credit cards, personal data, traffic and so on, continue to do business.

This is a pathetic business. I can't wait until it totally falls on its face.
