absolutely histerical and a great break from the focused sessions.

This was a lot of fun and at the same time showed the power of social media. I think it would have been even more effective in the middle or toward the end of the string of keynotes.

I’m going to sound like the media critics, but this was superb!

One of the best presentations of anything I’ve ever seen. When he’s not being @the_swine_flu, the man is a gem. Pure gold.

Discussed how comedy evolves through new mediums, which is a subject rarely covered in light of technical innovation. The speech was only hilarious, but insightful once you get done laughing.
