Smack dab in the middle of Gian Fulgoni’s presentation
â€" an excellent PowerPoint, I might add â€" the power went out in the room at the Search Insider Summit down on Captiva, Island.
It was
a little ironic for two reasons. One, Fulgoni had just been saying how the economy appeared to bottom out. So how is it that the South Seas Island Resort didn’t pay their power bill?
Nah, it was actually the second reason that makes this story more ironic and more interesting.
For
that story, MediaPost publisher Ken Fadner pointed out that the power outage actually means the power went out for the entire island of Captiva.
That’s ironic, because Fadner began this morning’s festivities by talking about a massive hurricane that battered a Search Insider Summit in this same venue a few years
ago.
Hmmm, looks pretty sunny outside to me. Maybe it was a wayward pelican flying into a power line or something.
Anyway, Fulgoni’s microphone is back, if not his PowerPoint, and he’s saying some more enlightening and insightful things. More in a while.
