We are only 33 days away from the 2010 Search & Social Spring Summit ! Only 68 tickets are still available. We have sold out for past events and foresee the same for this one. Act FAST! This is one of the most important conferences that you will ever attend in the search marketing industry. Top experts within the field are flying in from all over the country to be a speaker on our panel. Search marketing is ever-evolving and the news, trends and strategies will all be covered during those two days. And the most important reason to go is for the hyper-networking opportunities! Congratulations to Ben Cook, @Skitzzo , for winning the first ticket to the summit! Cook entered in the Twitter contest by making up a team name, in his case Team Bacon, and having as many Twitter users tweet out Team Bacon. Cook put his best foot forward and brought about some hard-hitting strategies like antagonizing his competition as well as saying he won’t tweet politics for 6 months. Great job, Ben! Now, what about Team Guns @KennyHyder , Team Bieber @Daver , Team Speedbag Club @Cyandle , Team Joe Hall @JoeHall and Team KickAss @TheMadHat ?
