Speaking at SMX

Friday, March 14th, 2008

SMX West 2008 was held in Santa Clara from February 26-28. And I was invited to speak on the panel “Generation Google”, along with 3 other web-savvy teenagers, Harrison Gevirtz, Andrew Sutherland, and Evan Fishkin. It was a Q&A session, moderated by Danny Sulivan, asking questions relating to what search engines we use, what we think of them, what we click on, etc. It was a great opportunity for me to be up there, and I loved speaking. Lots of fun. :)

Interview with WebProNews

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

After my session, “Generation Google”, at SMX West, I got the chance to be interviewed by Mike McDonald of WebProNews, his popular video blog which has millions of viewers. It was a lot of fun, and great that I got a chance to meet Mike. It was funny, the day before, we had tried to do the interview but it was a failure. The camera battery died half-way through! But no worries, being out on the balcony was much nicer anyways. Thanks again guys!
