Trust in Search! Dinner

At Search Engine Strategies conferences there are always after-conference events and last night was no exception. The SES Dinner hosted by Allan Dick of Allan Dick Sponsors included: Hitwise, pepperjamSEARCH, Range Online Media, Performics and Bizresearch who were all limited to using a single haiku (a 17-syllable Japanese poem) to tell the dinner attendees bout their services. Then we graded their performances and the top two winners won the highly-coveted "Footie" award (a clawfoot tub foot bolted to a wooden base). Todd Friesen of Range Online Media was a winner, and I believe pepperjamSEARCH was the other winner. I have videos of each haiku and will be uploading them to Google video later this week. The dinner was held at meat coma. Shoemoney Shoemoney was there taking lots of pictures.
