Nice find.
The subjects of the presentations look pretty intriguing. I'm going to have to think seriously about driving up to Connecticut for this one.
Yea, nice find. Man, you should try to get on one of those panels - gives a nice .edu link ;)
Interesting topic. I just hope it leads to better search engines and SEO practices.
The thought of having the government regulate search engines, however, is somewhat unnerving.
I was at a Yale CS reunion last week and spoke to one of the CS professors who will be on the panel. It should be interesting, and well-worth the drive. If that's not enough motivation, we can arrange a post-conference excursion to Mory's.
