Best Running Jokes:
- Dixon Jones after being tweaked by Ari Ozick that Majestic has a bad UI: We have a bad UI because everybody uses Excel anyway … Then I download it into Excel, because we have a lousy UI.
Best Tweets:
- Shira Abel (@shiraabel): ohhhhhh… dangerous keywords. Oh. Not as exciting as I had hoped…

Best Interaction:
- Tomer Honen: Phone went off while he was speaking. Asked if it was for him, said to tell them he’s not here.
- And then Tomer again, setting up Vanessa. The exchange went something like this:
- Conference Participant: I got a message that I have too many URLs.
- Tomer: How many do you have
- Participant: About 180 million.
- [After the laughter died down the second punchline came...]
- Vanessa Fox (from the audience): I programmed that feature!
Best Live Blogging:
- Debra Askanase: SphinnCon Coverage
[I almost wrote Lisa Barone & Barry Schwartz out of habit :-). Great job by Debra.]
