Donna Bogatin, Founder & Chief Analyst, InsiderChatter.com, (her blog is Insider Chatter by Donna) and a panelist at CED’s 17th Annual Tech conference, reports from the conference:
“I was so engrossed in getting to know the individual, real-world cutting-edge entrepreneurs showcased in the heart of the South East tech corridor, that I didn’t even realize that there were no “must have� Facebook Apps. Not until I returned to the blogosphere, that is, to be greeted by a blogger spat over Facebook love!
"It seems that the Internet’s “court jester,� Esther Dyson, message to ‘throw out your development to go use Facebook,� hasn’t reached the Research Triangle, and THAT IS A GOOD THING!’"
