By David Sumner-Smith | May 7, 2008

The three day Kelsey conference, Drilling Down on Local ’08 was by most accounts a success.

Among the blogs commenting on the conference are Kate Kaye’s “Random Notes.”

Peter Krasilovsky’s comments, “Yahoo!’s Michael Yang at Kelsey Seattle: Verticals Front-and-Center,” excerpted from the advisory written for Kelsey Marketplace clients.
