A few days ago Pubcon Las Vegas 2011 concluded a very busy week of search and social media

learning and revelry, and with all that has been written about the conference we wanted to share a sampling of media coverage with you.

 

We’ve gathered a partial selection of some of the November coverage from before, during and after Pubcon Las Vegas 2011 into a collection that we present here, including international foreign language coverage. We’ve also received an outpouring of positive feedback from many of you, as shown in a sampling of some of your tweets mixed in with our media coverage list.

Thanks to all of you who attended Pubcon Las Vegas 2011, and to those who live-blogged and wrote about last week’s successful search and social media extravaganza.

 

If you haven’t already made plans for Pubcon Paradise in Honolulu, Hawaii, early-bird registration is now open and we look forward to seeing you again on Waikiki Beach for what promises to to a Pubcon unlike any other in our decade-plus history.

 

Thanks,
