Air Skyping by MeshForum 2005 speakers

Two speakers from MeshForum 2005 made it into the Money Section of USA Today.

To quote from the piece:

Edward Vielmetti does exactly that on his blog. Vielmetti runs The Vacuum Group, a networking service in Ann Arbor, Mich. "I spoke with Valdis Krebs this afternoon, who was high over the Atlantic flying SAS on his way home from Eastern Europe," Vielmetti writes.

Krebs is the developer of InFlow, which he bills as "software for social network analysis," whatever that means.

"He was talking to me using Skype, and not paying anything extra for the call," Vielmetti writes. "Skype sound quality was as good as ever — he didn't have a separate mic and was just using the built-in on his Mac PowerBook."

So, clearly at least one columnist from Money doesn't yet know what social networks and mapping them means... but still, good to see two speakers from MeshForum quoted talking to each other.
