In looking around at the room at the hundreds of people (who would turn into a crowd of 1,000+ today as the exhibit floor opened), we both observed social networking at its best. We talked about how the common stereotype of "techies" as antisocial people could not be further from the truth. The room was abuzz of people meeting, greeting, exchanging ideas, introducing companies, talking about latest trends, and sharing with one another their goals of what they hoped to accomplish while at [HostingCon](http://www.hostingcon.com/), the premier educational and networking event for the hosted service industry.
