Ever sat through a two hour graveyard slot?

Chatting with Antony Mayfield, Ewan McIntosh, Ian and others over lunch and we decided this morning had been a mixed bag.

Post lunch has been just short of tortuous. Reid Hoffman from Linked In was terrible. If you want to know about how the site is changing professional networking Google Linked In + BusinessWeek for a great article.

Alexis Helcmanocki reviewed some Ipsos research on the trustworthiness of blogs in Europe which Iain Delaney and Ian Green blogged about last month (sorry, no links on my phone). Useful stats to convince clients why they should blog but I read the headline stats last month.

Dave Sifry fromTechnorati made some good points which I`ve rounded up below:

• Huge number of French bloggers globally but French language blogs are only the 7th most popular on Technorati because French blog platforms don't ping Technorati automatically.

• Top 50 list of global media outlets by readership contains 3 blogs: engadget, boing boing and a chinese blogger whose name I didn't catch

• But the next 50 includes 9 bloggers who are replacing traditional trade journals

Dave's full presentation will be available at his blog apparently.

Two panel discussions on Enterprise 2.0 and Ecommerce 2.0 were pretty uninspiring but included the gaff of the day. Didn't catch which panellist uttered it but distinctly heard the line: "Microsoft has Scoble..." Whoops.
