I really like the idea. I would also be interested in your advertising program. I have a promotional product eCommerce company that sells Lanyards and conference items.

Everything seems to work great.. I would not mind seeing a short description about the event under the URL of the conference site. --- Looks Great!

His website, where contact information can be found relatively easily, is in his profile. That might be a more efficient approach. (And anyone who can't be contacted from the information in their profile should fix that. The email field isn't visible to others.)

Very true, thanks so much. I didn't even think of that.

Sign in with Twitter? Seriously?

Are standalone user/password systems so hard to add and get right? (I'm serious about this; it seems like a solved problem, yet there also seems to be a number of sites that punt on that, and want me to couple their site with my account on some other site, which I really do not want to do as a default.)

Maybe people need throwaway Twitter accounts, like there is for E-mail.

It's not hard to add, but it's so much more useful to me to not make Yet Another Account.
