Going to SES Toronto 2010 to See New Products
I’ll be flying into Canada on Wednesday to attend SES Toronto 2010. Yes, yes, I’ll be going to conference sessions to keep up-to-date on trends and issues, but I’ll also be spending time in the expo hall to see new products.
Now, it’s hard to predict what I’ll discover. As Yogi Berra once observed, “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”
But, I can share with you some of the new products that I saw at SES New York 2010 back in March. Actually, my business partner, Jamie O’Donnell, saw them — but he documented his discoveries on video and uploaded them to SES Conference Expo’s Channel on YouTube.
For example, check out his interview with Jim Hyslop of Compendium on the exhibitor floor at SES New York 2010. Compendium is an enterprise platform for social media and search.
Hyslop talked about the history of blogging and how its typically been a very author-centric type of application. Compendium is taking the activity of blogging into a 3rd generation type of platform.

I should disclose that SES is a client of my agency. But trust me on the value of seeing new products.
