Better Late Than Never

Those of you that attended Dreamforce '06 probably remember the Mac vs PC style "commercials" that were shown before the keynote. I had trouble finding them online until now (the beauty of RSS feeds).

So, here you are, 14 months late.

Oh, and Happy New Year too :)

More Keynote Videos on YouTube

The Salesforce.com marketing department has posted more video from this years Dreamforce keynote speeches on YouTube.

Quality and audio is very good for YouTube. Watch part one for shots of the live band.

Met uber-blogger Robert Scoble at Dreamforce.  He was talking with Koral at their booth and was then on his way to an interview with Salesforce's Adam Gross for the Scoble Show. I'll update this when he posts the interview.

He's pointing at my "I'm Blogging Dreamforce 2006 @ Salesforcewatch.com" t-shirt :)
