During the Business Wire panel yesterday, Rex Hammock and I both mentioned Twitter several times. I just came across Brittney Gilbert's explanation from WKRN.
I was going to write my own explanation, but Chris Brogan does an excellent job.

Thanks to Business Wire for inviting me to speak on their panel about blogging, social media and search engine optimization (SEO).
It was a pleasure to share the stage (err, table) with Rex Hammock, Jon Henshaw and Bill Hobbs. I don't know Bill personally, but I do know Rex from his blog and as a fellow Twitter addict. Jon is a great guy as well who works with a terrific SEO company called Sitening.
Speaking of Sitening, it's always nice to see Statsia. Statsia was kind enough to speak at our event, BarCamp Nashville earlier this summer. She did a fantastic job of explaining Google Analytics there, as she did recently at a NAMA luncheon.
So good to meet so many people interested and excited about social media for their companies, and hopefully their lives as well. Blogging is really an extension of who we are, use the technology for good. Share, join and build communities. Web 2.0 is really just that, it's a return to a time where consumers ruled. Interact and engage with your customers and visitors, be honest and friendly and they will respect you.
Thanks.
Find me @ work: Emma.

Apologizes for not posting here more recently. I just returned from the Podcasting New Media Expo in Ontario (not Canada), California. I've been swamped with work at Emma, working on our home (which we just bought a few months ago), our podcast, PodCamp Nashville planning, and of course my family life (which is really on the top of my list).

Hi there loyal New Media Nashville reader. Have I written lately how much I love you? No? Sorry, I have been rather neglectful haven't I?
Let's make it better. Drop by here to see what I'm up to.
See you there.
Dave
Hi guys. I'm guilty of not posting in here in quite some time. I have fallen in to the blogger's trap of writing too many blogs. Ha!
Have a look at my favorite 10 quotes about BarCamp Nashville here.
Cheers,
Dave
Our dream is coming true tomorrow. Hope to see you in Nashville.

Wow, wow, wow. I am seriously experiencing some geek flavored withdrawal right now. I had the good fortune to be able to attend Gnomedex for the first time over weekend in Seattle (thanks, Emma) with my friend Marcus Whitney. It was an incredible experience.
Thanks to everyone I met, you guys all seriously rule. The conference was a real eye-opener to how tight our community really is. It's one thing to measure link love with Feedburner or Google Analytics, but to actually congregate in one room/bar and chat in the flesh is beyond cool. Who says we all live in dark rooms with our heads always buried in front of monitors? Ok, so maybe that's true for most of the rest of the year :-).
Let's all be sure we keep in touch. If you haven't "friended" me on Twitter yet please do: www.twitter.com/davedelaney/
