GEOINT 2007 - Great Show, Great People

We're leaving GEOINT later today and I have to say the event was refreshing - and very special this year.

Many times you'll go to a tradeshow and it turns out to be a collection of not-so-meaningful encounters and boring travel - but for The Carbon Project GEOINT 2007 was a high-energy experience shared with some great people.

Many thanks to everyone that took the time to visit with us and share the event - and many thanks to Microsoft Virtual Earth, what a great job pulling things together.

I leave you with one final annoucement from the Microsoft Virtual Earth booth at GEOINT this week...see you again soon.
