Now That’s Fast
I got just got home from a very entertaining evening with some folk from the Web Content 2008 conference watching, or rather largely ignoring, an overall boring game of basketball between two teams I didn’t know from a bar of soap (for the record, the Celtics won and were premiers or something). Anyway, I found in my email an entire conversation within Ephox around this article on CMS Wire about the talk I gave today. It’s actually a very good summary of what I said and I hadn’t realized there was anyone from CMS Wire even at the conference (Rachelle, please do say hello tomorrow if you get this, I don’t know what you look like).
It’s simply amazing how fast news travels these days, within 12 hours a speech I’d given in Chicago had been written about by CMS Wire, noticed by Google which sent an alert to our engineering manager in Australia and then got replies from a couple of people within our US office, all while I was out at the pub drinking, developing strategic business relationships (Seth, you’re going to write lots more good stuff about Ephox now right?). That’s really very cool.

Hi Adrian,
I came across this only after I said hi just now.. just wanted to clarify that I’m not with CMS Wire. I’m actually a graduate student at Northwestern University interning with Duo Consulting this summer, which explains why I’m blogging the conference. :)

Must give credit where it’s due. Doug was the first to see it, I just sent the email out to everyone.
