SES New York 2009 – Feedback
Overall, I felt a bit disappointed at this year’s event. The sessions on Day 1 and 2 appeared to have little for the SEO attendees and much was a bit too basic. In addition, the charity party was on Monday night which meant that people like me, who had to come in on Tues (or late Mon) the party was out of reach and there was no Webmaster Radio Bash or anything to replace it.
Happily, there were invite events that I was fortunate enough to attend and the Castle as well as the Hilton Bars for getting together to talk about life and all things SEO, SEM and Social Media.

Did I mention I was a geek and not in a cool way, in high school 
?
In fact, if it weren’t for my friend who suggested this article, I might have just put my head under the covers and hid away. However, he was my first conference friend and somehow that makes the rest so much easier.
So new to SES NY? Here is what I learned.

Do we control the internet?
Hmm…Ok again, pretty daring statement – I know. But before you flame me, or whatever the proper term is these days*, I believe the question is valid.
So what do I mean by this?
