#thinkvisibility was great

September 16th, 2009

thinkvis

Spent the last weekend at the fantastic Thinkvisibility conference. It was great to catch up with a few people and great to meet some more new friends.

As a conference I think @thehodge has got it just about right, its a great mix of the social and the useful. Not too big an event and enough time and opportunity to meet nearly everyone.

Some people I met: -

Yoast
Name checked me as the guy who drew his avatar for him, resulting in everyone turning round and looking at me even though I was hungover enough to chuck my guts up at any second.

Great presentation as ever though and id like to thank Yoast for the cufflinks he brought me.

Jay Butler
Great to catch up, now permanently fixed as my Rum and Wasabi partner ;)

Judith Lewis
Great to catch up with Judith and she delivered a very polished presentation as ever.

AlCarlton
Creator of the awesome Conference Calendar as well as a bunch of other sites. I like Al, he fits with my long history of having and being friends with people who enjoy an ‘adventure’ ;)

Chris Garrett
Finally got to chat

Bony Toad
Stephen is a great chap, always has been. He actually made me snort when, sat next to me, he posted this twitpic

Great to meet at last, keep up the good work with Share my playlists and keep on nagging me to stop tweeting whilst we drink.

Tim Nash – A great session on profiling (Which I am doing a separate post on Tim and thats why I havent written this bit until now sigh ;) )
Hobo Seo – great to chat Shaun
Mr Scott Jones and Ian – probably as drunk as I was
Anthony from Bronco
And Lindop – as ever good to see you mate

Everyone else I have forgotten as im an Idiot

And of course Dom and Mrs Dom (soon enough) for putting on a great conference.

About SEOidiot

Hi my name is Paul Madden and I am a UK SEO based in Lancashire, for years I have been cursed by the nickname SEOidiot which started life as a form of abuse from someone but you need to decide for yourself how accurate the term is.

Quotes about me

"Paul is one of those few people in the online marketing business that not only understands the intimate details of SEO but intuitively knows and implements how to deliver it. Paul is a very humble guy and goes by the moniker of SEO Idiot, anyone who takes that literally had better watch out as Paul is as much an idiot in SEO as most others in the industry are gurus! An amazing guy, a knowledgeable business man and "a doer". Paul is not only an asset in every project we work together on, but I am honoured to say has become a true friend."
