I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving.  Had a good one here.  I wanted to catch up on some developments and fill you in on some upcoming plans.

Monaco Media Forum

We had a hugely  productive, 36-hour trip, to Monaco where we produced 30 clips with folks from Adobe, Akamai, AlphaBird, AOL, BuzzFeed, Tumblr, Orange, Taboola, Digitas, Revision3, Magnify, the Weather Company, Viacom, VivaKi, Videology and more.

You can find several of the clips here — with more to be published.

IMG_4090It was great to hang out at night with two of the the very best digital media journalists, Robert Andrews of paidContent/GigaOM (r) and Brian Morrissey of Digiday (l). Both were at the Forum to moderate sessions.

Oh, and I moderated a panel with AOL, AlphaBird, GlibHippo and Videology — highlights to be published soon.

Many thanks to our good friends at AOL On for sponsoring our coverage.

And congrats to Spencer Reiss and the crew at the Forum for putting on another great show this year.
