Somehow Vanessa found time in her crazy busy schedule to answer some follow-up questions.   Thanks Vanessa.   If you have not yet tried Google Sitemaps, you are missing out.

• If Google’s search engine was not available, what would you use to find things?
  I’m very glad Google is around. I remember the hours and hours I spent in the library, looking through old microfilm and microfiche back when I was in college. Kids today just don’t know. I guess that’s my generation’s “walking to school in the snow uphill both ways” story. We tell the young whippersnappers about the days before Google. I still use the library all the time, but now I can use Google for my Britney Spears searches.

• What are the best places for people to learn beginner and advanced information about Google Sitemaps?

Hey everybody the Search Engine Strategies conference in New York was great.  Unfortunately, it was overflowing with so much great stuff so I did not have time for the GoodKarma show.  I promise to make up for that by sharing the great information that I picked up at the conference.  Here are some quick highlights.

Top Surprise - Google’s Vanessa Fox is even more impressive in person.  I saw her in the hotel lobby and we had an excellent chat.  I’d encourage anyone to attend a search conference so they can have an opportunity to talk with people like Vanessa. 

Top Dissappointment - Tim Mayer could not attend SES NY.  Tim is a great guy and it would have been fun to see him again.  Despite missing Tim, Yahoo still had some really interesting engineers and scientists at the show.   I was able to peek at some of the cool things Yahoo has in their pipeline.

Most Entertaining Moment - Attending Spamalot with the SES/WebmasterRadio.fm crew and seeing Dax brought on stage. 

Least Entertaining Moment - Visiting the MSN Adcenter booth and asking if they were handing out vouchers like Google Adwords does, then being handed a page with signup information that costs $5 to activate.  Ummmm, not exactly what I had in mind.  I think I need to explain myself better next time.

What was your most memorable experience of SES NY 2006?

What would be your words of wisdom for people attending next year?
