1. Affiliate Summit Recap

I just flew back from Affiliate Summit 2007 East, and boy are my arms tired. [insert cricket noise]

But seriously folks. Thanks to all of the sponsors, speakers, attendees, and staff that came out to steamy Miami for the biggest affiliate marketing conference on the East Coast to date.

There were approximately 1,850 people registered (we had 1,250 last summer in Orlando), and the combination of this affiliate marketing melting pot made for a pretty magical time.
