Ad-tech SF

Most years I find the ad-tech event more leisurely, but this year for some reason I found my schedule packed with mini-meetings.  It was great to catch up with a number of people I hadn't seen since, well, ad-tech NY in many cases.  Also while I didn't spend much time on the show floor, I appreciated the more spacious feel and extra space provided to sit down and talk with people, which has been notably absent from some other ad-tech shows.

Morinsight into the mortgage industry

I've found some of the posts and comments here particularly interesting and useful recently, for those interested in the mortgage lead business. Definitely worth a look, for those who haven't stumbled upon it yet.  Of particular interest is the post entitled "Top Mortgage Lead Providers Of The First Quarter, 2007" (and the comments within it), and "Are Social Security #s worth the extra $10-$15?"
