Thanks Shalabh!

I’m actually at exactly 1500 words. Shorter than last year, but still much, much too long for my liking. I bet I lost half of the readers around the E=mc^2 part.

There is just too much stuff going on this year at the unConference that you can’t cover it well with anything less than a 3000 word essay!

Great coverage and to the point. Think you are close to your previous record- but any shorter and it would not have done justice.
Missed the event this time- but hope to attend the next year.

Hehe… with great power comes great responsibility. Take care of the golden ticket, ya? Don’t abuse its power.

I think the industry as a whole needs more geekettes. But at least there were a lot more females in attendance this year than last year.

If I remember correctly, last year was basically a ball and sausage fest…

Thanks!

Next year someone should organize some kind of tweet-off. You know, like within the time span of one session, see who can pump out the most quality tweets about the session.

Score 1 point for tweeting a piece of information before your competitor. Score 2 points if your tweet is an exclusive. Score 5 points if you have a link to back it up.

Would love to see you and Yung-Hui duke it out.

Hey Peter, I didn’t see you at the unConference this year. Did you manage to go?

“I think girls like hot girls as well.”

Probably, but most just don’t want to admit it.

(For all the feminist mentees out there, I’m just kidding!)

You are definitely one of the rockstars in twitter about the event. Oh yeah, I showed everyone the golden ticket you passed me that day – reminds me of the Charlie and Chocolate Factory story.

I guess the E27 team needs to market to get more geekettes to join the event next time round.:)

Btw, Great Coverage of the Unconference 2009!

Thanks for the write-up – I had to go just before lunch, so this (and the links to the others) did a good job of filling in the gaps.

Actually there were a few Twitter monster in #unconference.

Too bad one of them is handling the video camera.

Great write up.
