Yesterday I sat in on two sessions: Leveraging Social Media (not posted yet) and Branding and Search and did an interview with Eurekster CEO Steven Marder.

After all of that it was off to the Yahoo party at the DeAnza Hotel in a sort of outdoor/indoor courtyard. It started out pretty small but gained steam with lemony "Yahootinis" and an array of finger food. Yahoo chose to get rid of the remaining Yahoo logo'd martini glasses that were left over from the 10th anniversary party they threw at SES New York in 2005. Lots of people left with one or two white boxes.
