I’m testing out a new poll widget, and to do so FM has asked me to help with some internal research we’re doing to understand an industry (mobile carriers). If you are so inclined, might you take a minute to take the poll?

NOTE: We’re not asking which one you HAVE, but which you PREFER, IE, think is the best.

Thanks!

I’ll be at the other end of the interview schtick Thursday morning when Danny Sullivan puts me on the hot seat in a keynote interview at his SMX West event.

Danny and I want to know: What should we talk about? What do you want to hear me opine upon? I’ll write up the interview here afterwards.

Last Day for Web 2 Summit Early Bird

Today is the last day for early registration discounts on this year’s Web 2 Summit. The event is slated for Oct. 20-22 in SF, at a new venue. If you went last year, or are an alumus and are on our list, you got an email with a code you can use for the discount, which is significant. If you want to go but don’t have that email or code, ping me: jbat at battellemedia dot com, and I’ll get you hooked up. You can always request an invite as well, I review these personally and will make sure to take care of you if you mention you came via Searchblog.

We are finalizing the theme and speaker lineup for this year, we have a very clear idea of where we are taking it – and I think you’ll find what we’re doing intriguing. Last year I think we successfully navigated the massive issues roiling the markets, and pivoted toward a theme of “Web Meets World” which proved quite apt, I think. I can’t divulge who is speaking this year, yet, but trust me, I take my role as Program Chair very seriously. This will be a very, very interesting year.

Look, I am partners with O’Reilly on Web2, so I am biased. But for my money, the best event out there to get a real sense of where the tech world is going is OR’s eTech event, happening in March in San Jose.

I go to connect to the people who I know will be changing my world, sometime in the not so distant future.

It’s just really, really good.

Biggest Day Ever

Yesterday's (well, technically, Sunday's) predictions 2009 post drew the single largest crowd ever to Searchblog in its five-plus year history. More than 50,000 people came to visit it, thanks in large part to Twitter and Digg. I'm honored and pleased as punch, and it really makes me want to…

Yesterday’s (well, technically, Sunday’s) predictions 2009 post drew the single largest crowd ever to Searchblog in its five-plus year history. More than 50,000 people came to visit it, thanks in large part to Twitter and Digg.

I’m honored and pleased as punch, and it really makes me want to write more. In fact, each of the predictions could be a long post, and perhaps they will be. Also, I have more to say that I could not get into the post I wrote Sunday before heading up to the top of Tam. Sometimes, fate gives you a nudge. Thanks for coming, all.

15,000 Words You Might Have Missed

One of my readers noted that I've written a lot of off-blog stuff, and I'm rather proud of it. And I've noted (in my "How did I do 2008" post) that I did not really make the progress I wish I had on my book. But working with partners…

One of my readers noted that I’ve written a lot of off-blog stuff, and I’m rather proud of it. And I’ve noted (in my “How did I do 2008” post) that I did not really make the progress I wish I had on my book. But working with partners like Amex, I wrote nearly 20 column-sized pieces – around 15,000 words – and nearly all of them are sketches toward the book I hope to write. Here are some of the pieces I wrote elsewhere this year:
