PubCon Wrapup: Battle of the Free Stuff

I came away with quite a hefty bounty of goods from this year's PubCon. The exhibit hall featured about 30+ companies all interested in getting the word out on their products and services. You know what that means... FREE JUNK!

Yes, I slummed my way around the exhibit hall collecting as much free stuff as I could. My favorite by far was the mysterious glowing Google sphere (shown above). Yahoo had a neat magnetic construction kit (also shown).

Opera had the coolest t-shirts... Wore mine home on the flight back. Did-it.com had a very interesting little stuffed animal frog that would belch out "Did-it... did-it... did-it..." when you squeezed him. Good for some laughs when hidden in my wife's purse.

My favorite vendor was probably the Opera guys. After spending some time talking with them, I've decided to run their banners on a few of my sites for free. They offer a great free product and they deserve the support!
