Sorry for the misunderstanding, I am unable to attend the vid conference today and was specifically referring to the discussion of SF hotels...
It is my personal opinion that the "discussion" at this time is a one-way street where people with SF experience could offer hotel suggestions now on the board rather than having to do it in the vid chat later. It was not my intention to say the vid conferences are not worth participating. On a somewhat related note, is there a way we can create a list of people who are interested in attending Vloggercon? I'm thinking something like Evite that shows "maybe" and "yes". I'm about 75% right now - hotel is the only thing I need to price out. -Matt ----------------------- http://vlogmap.org http://ridertech.com http://leanbackvids.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Bill Streeter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You don't have to just talk about hotels.
