Background: TechCrunch is having their RealTime CrunchUp event and solicited comments from the founder of Gmail, FriendFeed — Paul Buchheit — now at Facebook. Comments don’t appear to be working so… as I was trying to say:

This post is a landing page for when I attend a conference. In this case, the conference is Audience Conference. While I’m not certain who I will meet or what companies will be there — I have high expectations. 100% of the companies I work with have some kind of audience. [...]

Let’s not mince words: Cisco sells routers. Cisco sells a great many IP things but you’ve probably heard: Cisco sells routers. While Cisco has a massive portfolio of solutions and an M&A trail that would make any MBA blush, the Starent deal is straight pool.
