I wrote an Inquirer.net news story about the second annual BizTechDay conference and workshop held in Millbrae, CA a few weeks ago. I heard nothing but great and positive responses from attendees, speakers and exhibitors. I discovered the event when I attended a MeetUp Business Entrepreneur session in San Francisco last spring. I've been to many business networking events but this one was more interactive offering valuable press and social networking marketing opportunities for all attendees on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and the Meetup site. To add to the building excitement, esteemed guest panelists were lining up as late as two weeks before the event such Craig Newmark, Craiglist Founder followed by Kevin Rose, Digg Founder .

Hmmm, it's 2:25 PST and I still can't access my email. Instead I get an error message. Three hours ago Google acknowledged the problem which apparently is a global issue. Oh-oh. http://www.informationweek.com/news/internet/google/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=219500837 Who else out there is griping? On Twitter, Facebook, SMS, etc.???

A week later, I'm still pinching myself of images of cries and smiles worldwide congratulating Obama and the United States for several deep reasons: The first and obvious of course is that he's making history as the first African American to live in the White House, the house that was built mostly by the hands of slaves. Second, it's generational. Obama is 46 years old, between the Baby Boomer and Gen X (like myself), he can relate to the My Space, Twitter, Facebook and Blackberry generation. Remember when he announced his VP, Joe Biden, running mate via text messages? That was cool! He even has an account on LinkedIn, a free professional and international online networking tool that connects people. He has 500+ contacts in his network.
