I was pleasantly surprised at the turn out from today's social networking conference in Beverly Hills 90210. I met some really cool people from a very diverse group of companies. Here is a quick recap of the speakers and you can also check out the pictures below as well:
Session 1: Travis Falstad of Electronic Arts talked about social networking in the gaming environment.This was of keen interest to me since I am a serious gamer and Madden (on the Playstation) expert! "EA Sports, It's in the Game!
