Note 7/23: I spent the whole morning doing a server transfer after walking into MozCon and finding out my site was down. As a result, this day is more of a Twitter curation + resources than a liveblog. As a result, this post is pretty much the Ruth Burr show โ€“ sheโ€™s been tweeting harder this week than all of us combined, so follow her on Twitter and G+ because she deserves it. Playing catchup right now with all the great presentations. Many thanks to Michael Cottam of Visual Itineraries for his assistance with some database troubles.

Overall takeaway for the day โ€“ and the week? This:

At the last marketing conference I attended (SearchFest in Portland in February) I walked away with 7 pages of handwritten notes after a single day. But, handwritten notes donโ€™t do me or anyone else any good, they just get locked away in the file cabinet. So for MozCon Iโ€™m going to publish my notes here. Iโ€™m not promising a hardcore live blogging session, but Iโ€™ll publish notes on everything that I feel is worth writing down.

You can also find me tweeting @KaneJamison โ€“ Iโ€™ll try to embed any important tweets from myself and others into this post.
