GSPEAST08 - How to keep everyone awake

Not that anyone was sleeping ! Between sessions there was always a funny video on the screen that helped bring a smile to the attendees. Dave McClure spent a lot of time selecting video clips that were played in between sessions. I was among the people who asked him to put the links to these videos up . Here is the link: http://500hats.typepad.com/500blogs/2008/06/graphing-social.html

Today was a good day with a lot of content. And here are some takeways :
