I love Lanyrd. You have gone and built something that is better than what came before you. I conceived a startup in in 2006 called Confabb.com that strove to be what Lanyrd has become. Great work!
Thanks Cam. I think the big difference between now and 2006 is that there are existing social graphs to integrate with. Confabb had to build one from scratch, which is hard to get people to do when it's just for conference-related stuff. We've benefitted enormously from using the Twitter graph.
