I always look forward to meeting WebProWorld people at the shows, so if you see a bald guy with a video camera nearby... it's probably me so be sure to flag me down.

For those of you who will be unable to attend, you should find plenty of show coverage both here and in WebProNews to keep you in the loop and at least give you a taste of what goes on (though you really should go if you can-- it's a lot more fun).

We'll have special pages on WebProNews dedicated to all of our show coverage and I'll be sure to come back and update this post to a link to it once it exists.

Beyond that, I wanted to throw some names out of a few people I hope to catch up with a little bit and see if you guys had any good ideas for questions/topics/subjects.

I don't have anything set in stone with anybody yet... OK, I haven't even sent any of them emails yet... But I am pretty sure I can get a few minutes with most of them. So if you have anything on your mind you'd like to get some straight from the horse's mouth kind of answers for, now's your chance.

Obviously, this isn't any kind of exhaustive list either... I'm sure I'll run into all kinds of interesting SEOers out there. So if you have just anything you'd like to see discussed in general.. feel free to throw it in the pot too.
My proposals:
  1. Chris Sherman, Executive Editor, Search Engine Land. Ask him about the staus of the invisible web: Searchwise - Chris Sherman's Search Engine & Invisible Web Consulting or Invisible-web.net - Searchable databases and specialized search engines
    IncyWincy: The Invisible Web Search Engine

    Related link: Can't Find On Google - list
  2. Matt Cutts, Software Engineer, Google. The staus of rel="nofollow" on internal and outbound links. Anything new on spamfilters - the status of OpenId at Google -
    openid-test - Google Code

    Technology Leaders Join OpenID Foundation to Promote Open Identity Management on the Web ,

    PageRank and TrustRank. Algorithmic news. New tools or resources.
  3. Rand Fishkin, CEO, SEOMoz ideally together with Matt Cutts. Status on paid links and ad links.
  4. Brett Crosby, Senior Manager, Google Analytics. Any new tools to survey adSense links. Tracking reports etc?
Regarding OpenID: Read the short article: Autenthication using OpenID. Note that february 7 2008, it was announced that Google, IBM, Microsoft, VeriSign and Yahoo have joined the board. This is a definite step to a safer web and reducing spam.
