I caught the 2nd half of the Online Local Panel with the following panelists:
I only caught the second half of this panel (I was at the Max Levchin and Bill Gurley panel) so I don't have a ton of notes on this one, but the video is interesting. You can also see other related panels where I captured content.
My notes:
local sales is critical... livingsocial hiring 400 to 500 more salespeople "in the street" this year alone... self-service products are not right for SMB; need to have "feet in the street" and it's time and labor intensive

Lisa Morino said something interesting about an "Interest Graph" that tracked closely with Max and Bill's panel - "I find people who share interests -- a group of "whales" -- that go from game to game to game."
Lisa Morino: 25% to 40% is from people who don't want to pay but engage in activities which generate revenue (like watching ads)
Chris Rooke: Only 3% of brand advertising is done online -- brand advertising is the "sleeping giant" in the online space
Trip Hawkins: People will be "shocked" at how quickly mobile grows and how quickly games move over.
