#Techwave 2010 - Day 3: Yet More Random Thoughts

A couple of swag items: Sue Dunnell was handing out "backstage passes" which you took back to the registration area to receive a PB hoodie. Also, the first JAGTAG award was a coupon texted back to you which you took back to the registration area to receive a set of magnets (don't get them too close to your hard drive).

Just a note about a previous entry: I did complain to the hotel about the rolling chair and they did replace it within a few minutes.

One thing that impresses me this year is the social media impact. It's rather interesting to watch Twitter or Facebook and see that a number of the people you are following are also here and are posting, sometimes from the same session (sometimes from people sitting next to you). I know that they were promoting social media in prior Techwaves, but this year it really seems to have taken off. The only downside is that I can get so focused on doing my own posting or reading others that I miss out on portions of the session that I'm actually in.
