Just wanted to let you know that the price for attending SMX is less than you've written above. Right now you can buy a ticket for $1195. If you send 3 people, the rate per person is $956 (20% off each). That includes all of the meals (breakfast, hot lunch, snacks), networking activities (receptions and parties) and of course the keynotes and Expo Hall. There's even a discounted rate on the hotel of $359/night, which isn't inexpensive but the same room is selling this week on hotels.com for more than $500. You're right about all of the other costs and time away from the office. Many find that the value outweighs the investment. Thanks again for writing the piece. I hope to meet you at SMX East!

We've found that because there is more of a variety of categories, there is more of a variety of web surfers on StumbleUpon which helps to generate more generic, broad traffic overall than a place like Digg that seems to send people very tech and political in nature.

With that information, we would be able to see which social network provides quality traffic for each topic, I meant... Maybe StubleUpon works for a "humor" tag/website. But maybe Digg gives you higher visits for a "bush" tag/website. I'm reviewing this website in my SU blog and added to my rss, hopefully I'll find more interesting topics just like this one. -C Screenshots are useful but, if you could do the same with several & different topics this would become a great research resource, for you and your visitors (like me).

I think you've got it backwards here. Stumble lets you categorize things you submit into fields like entrepreneurship, surfing, skateboarding, etc. You can select these as your specific interests. Digg on the other hand is very generic and things are only categorized into big categories like "Business and Finance" it's hard to find stuff on marketing, or entrepreneurship or anything specific. Good post overall. “Traffic is fairly generic and not as themed or targeted as places like Digg who seem to revolve around tech and politics.”
