After an all-too-brief stint in Toronto where I attended Mesh and met up with colleagues and friends, my head is swimming with some of outstanding moments and great lines, some of which I’ve jotted down here...

"Companies go to great lengths to protect their existing business models, even if it goes against their best interests. And, in a lot of cases, I believe it does. A lot of these innovations will increase the size of a market, not decrease it. But innovation also creates fear." Mike Masnick discussing how litigious copyright laws inhibit new sustainable business models.

"I think that I could retire on happiness." Jessica Jackley discussing how she feels about her work at Kiva.org

"Digital has to be at the strategy table from conceptualism. If digital only exists to support traditional, it’s a fail." Pepsico’s Bonin Bough on the integration of digital media.

"Search is huge. It’s the new digital newsstand. It's a whole new space to evolve into, and create relevant content.... You have to start thinking like a newsroom. Think about going from sound bite to sound blast." Bonin Bough on message distribution.

"Today it’s all about filtering – how do you find what’s important?" Andrew Cherwenka on finding the signal through the noise.

"Blogging is dinner. Twitter is dessert." Mark Evans on the difference between substance and yummy tidbits.
