All the Best Affiliate Summit West 08 Pictures, Videos, Blogs
If you are looking for the latest and greatest Affiliate Summit pictures, videos, news, twits and overviews... stay tuned to the 5 Star channel. I scour the net, so you don't have to! This is the most comprehensive Affiliate Summit coverage available anywhere. (Even Technorati doesn't have it all!)
During previous Affiliate Summits it was harder to find the news as it happened. Now so many people are blogging live at the event that there is a ton more action to keep up with. So rather than try to even paraphrase or do an overview of each one, I'm going to just have to do a big list by title.
Following in no particular order are all the blogs, pics and vids I've found so far.
I'll add more as I find it. If I missed anything add it below.
Everyone's Summit Videos on YouTube (date sort most recent)
I'm sick and my computer is really slow, so this has taken forever. Need to take a break. I'll be back later to add to this thread, so keep checking back. And remember if I missed any good Summit blogs or pics, feel free to add below

10:15am “Affiliate people doing spam can abuse these systems only so much before they collapse.”
10:15am “We’re tolerant of these people polluting the web. Affiliate companies are enabling the polluters of the well and turning a blind eye.”
10:20am “Truth is, much of this affiliate stuff is bull**** ponzi scheme where people got lucky and made a lot of money not doing much.”
10:22am “The internet has turned into a criminal mindset game.
10:22am Calacanis busting Shoemoney, Zac Johnson and the guys who post their earning checks.
Geez Calacanis - a little down on affiliate marketing or what?
No really, don't hold back. Tell us what you really think!
At 1st I agreed with Trust's comment about - why would you have someone that hates affiliate marketing so much, do the keynote. Then in thinking about it more - I decided it was a brilliant move. Many big Internet personalities and marketers share his view of our industry. It's a fact! I think pressure from people like Jason may help us do a better job of self policing and at least trying to clean up our industry.

NOTE: All the commentary on the controversial Jason Calacanis Keynote is being added to the ROUND #2 section as I find it. It's a pretty hot topic and as of right now I've added 9 emotionally charged blog entries that thought Jason's talk was either hot... or NOT!

We had an amazing time at the Summit and will be posting pics and a recap on the Share Results blog later today. Overall the attendance was huge - the biggest turnout yet, and we were amazed at the number of great new people we met.
Also, in the words of Andrew Wee who was one of the funnest people I met, I am "much taller in person than my avatar"
