Was hanging out at the back of the room at one of the sessions that was all together too techy for me (because that's where I could find an outlet for the ol' laptop) and got introduced to two of the speakers of the next session: Aaron Wall of SEO Book (who's much younger than I expected) and Rand Fishkin of SEOMoz (master link baiter, and wearer of the infamous yellow shoes). Maybe I should have asked Rand for a job -- he seems to pay pretty well :)
In the spirit of telling you something you might not know -- something you won't read on any of the "real" industry blogs -- my "value added" opinion: both Aaron and Rand are really cute.
(This reminds me of a previous idea to engage in, and claim ownership of the idea of, "comment baiting" -- that is to say, shamelessly flattering or provoking high-profile bloggers to make them leave comments on my blog, thus lending an air of false legitimacy. Hmmm....)
