Director of the Conference Robert Chiarito contacted me today with the reviews of my speech on “The Perception Makers.” I received one of the highest scores of the conference with a 4.7 out of 5. I also received some interesting comments about my speech:

“Wow! Seemed like a ‘know-it-all’ teenager on speed. Clearly knows a lot about Web 2.0?  - Paula Berg, Southwest Airlines

“Great energy, more than makes up for somewhat disjointed content. Where will he be in 10 years?” - Maggie Fox, Social Media Group

“Great!” - unsigned evaluation (no my mother was not at the conference) 

“Thoroughly educational and entertaining! Great speaker to end the day with” - Eric Tatro, Cohn & Wolfe

I am pretty excited to get back a very favorable score and remarks from the people attending the conference. I would like to thank everyone who left feedback. I wanted to post video of the event but Bobby the idiot tapped over it.

Mike and I have been working on an extremely exciting and perhaps profound piece of literature to be released in the near future. The article is tentatively titled “In a Web 2.0 State of Mind: optimizing time, energy and resources in a consumer-generated content world.” In the article, we discuss the overbearing influence Web 2.0 can have on the user: 1) the difficulty and confusion from various layouts and designs of various Web 2.0 platforms 2) the all-consuming nature of having various platforms to cater to that often creates an inability to properly access and optimize the user’s talents and time according to business and personal needs. We then apply the Theory of Multiple Intelligence postulated by Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard University, a theory that is quite renowned in the field of education, and apply it to the world of Web 2.0, which in many ways is the most profound ground in education online. Our findings and implications are meant to help users gain a stronger understanding of themselves, their needs and their relationship within the Web 2.0 world so that they can utilize their only talents and needs in the consumer-generated platforms that are vastly becoming necessary tools in our lives.

Hopefully, you will enjoy the article as a means of practical knowledge for your Web 2.0 business and pleasure needs. If you would like to know more about the article, keep your eyes open for further posts on its release. We also invite any suggestions on the various medias we should target the article for as we are currently exploring publishing options.
