Thanks. This was great. I shall take great care in avoiding those same 11 types in the future.

Great post Lisa. I especially liked the park about the Bruce Clay thing for conference introverts…

I personally love that you took the list to 11 and didn’t end at 10 – just because you could!

Yes, yes. I read this just to make sure I wasn’t one of the 11 people. Whew!

You, seriously, are one of my favorite writers in the industry at this point though (if not THE favorite). Engaging (I read the whole damn post and usually do) and with a witty tone to it.

Nicely done . . . as always.

Ok, Lisa your blog posts from start to finish are GREAT!! Not only informative and amusing but the comments section are exceptional too and at times I am LMFAO…. and I mean ALL OFF. Have fun and looking forward to your live blogging sessions as I will be unable to be there. Cheers!

I won’t be at this one, but the BS artist is in there somewhere — usually around lunch. That’s the guy who sits down, asks everyone at the table what they do, probes *hard* for details and offers nothing in return. Invariably someone at the table attending their first conference talks too much to this person.

Oh, and the invariable “I Know Everything In These Sessions” person. Not as annoying, but worth a quick head nod while you seek out someone who wants to chat, network, whatever and not be fawned over.

True story: Several years ago, I was sitting next to Tamar in a session and we introduced ourselves. When she said, “I’m Tamar”, I replied “I know”. I honestly didn’t mean to sound creepy. It’s just I knew her stuff online and sounded like a stalker. So give some of us webgeeks the benefit of the doubt. We’re not all stalkers.

Two things:

1) I like cougars

2) Thanks for not including the guy that drinks too much :)
