Well last week was a whistlestop week - at least in terms of the number of events and late nights I seemed to have, so I lost my way with the blog a little! Wednesday night saw the second installment of widget week in the chinwag event where a panel discussed widgetisation, intermediation and distributed advertising models.
There were some interesting discussions and points made but I thought the good news was we haven't missed anything just yet. The same questions were popping up amongst an engaged audience and there still seems to be opportunity and ambiguity around in spades. The entertaining HeGe from Nokia and WidSets, an enlightened and enlightening BT representative George, and the ever effusive chair lead the way.
After a few attempts to define a widget (probably the most succint of which, and certainly the only one I recall in its entirety, is 'a tear off of another site') the panel followed some Q&A making a welcome change from the 8 or so uninterrupted presentations that made up MoMo on monday.
We ended up having dinner with HeGe, the lovely Jenny and Priya who turned out to be good friends with my old friend Matt Postgate (whom I should congratulate on his new appointment - congratulations!). That was followed by a trip to Adam Street, wandering into the doubleclick party and then meeting a fellow member of the Millar clan over a martini or two. What was more surprising was that I had never Fran before...
Thursday a much deserved night off, and Friday some dealings with the chaps at DotNetSolutions and Microsoft before a quick trip to Lianne's leaving do and a Curry back at the ranch. ROW just stood for Rest Of Week...
