Just came out of the keynote. The mood on the floor is buzzing.
Some interesting highlights for me.. Jackie B as the MC. Good choice! Rowan from TradeMe inspiring everyone to go create startups and then ScottGu showing off a cool Dice demo with Atlas. I will have to get my hands on that one :)
George Moore from Live also showed off the new Live Contacts gadget which lets you embed an IFRAME in your site that you can interact with in a consent based model which allows viewers of your site to opt in the details from their contact list into the site. There is a demo of this working with a contact map up at http://dev.live.com/mashups/contactmap/ .. it will be interesting to see how this pans out in practice as this is the first time Ive personally seen a real large consumer service making identity API's available.
In terms of the keynote, for all the people not here you can check it out yourself this afternoon at http://www.techedlive.co.nz - apparently sometime around midday :)
If you are up here at TechEd, make sure you come to the community lounge and visit the some of the DNUG.NZ crew. Its open during the breaks and we have a stock of Lift Plus and a couple of 360's to keep you energised :)
Also, props to DTSL for the nice stable and high speed wireless access this year ;)
