Today is the opening day of WebSearch University, held in Arlington, VA. Yesterday, the WSU pre-conferences went great, or at least mine on delving into the deep web of business resources did and it looked like the other instructors had satisfied students. Thanks to all of you who attended my session. There was lots of discussion and idea-sharing, which makes for a more edifying session than just me rambling on. As always, there was so much more we could have done. I also peeked into Blog University in the afternoon, after my pre-con was over and people seemed to enjoy it as well, but some told me they were a bit overwhelmed by the terminology. Note to self: Make sure the speakers today and tomorrow explain the acronyms and terms if the audience looks baffled.

On another continent, my colleague Dick Kaser is in Geneva covering a Prep-con session for the World Summit on the Information Society, which is being Webcast in both English and French. The full conference will be in Tunis, Tunisia on November 16-18, 2005.
