Tony, you’re proof that Perry wasn’t slamming ALL bloggers. :)
Thanks again for making the main sessions available free online! I’m looking forward to reading the notes from the breakout sessions whenever they’re made available, too.
BTW, the streaming worked really, really well. The only hiccups were when a couple dozen people would all try to respond in the chat box at once (usually when Perry was asking us to shout “Numbers!” or respond in some other way). But even then, the audio would only skip for a tiny fraction of a second. The video would get choppier in those moments, but not unwatchable.
ignore the jackass is right.
