ONA08 was the sold-out conference, with  nearly 800 attendees, where:

• “Tech geek blogger” Robert Scoble streamed his keynote appearance live on kyte.tv.
• Inside and outside the conference, more than 500 people followed sessions through live Twittering, while bloggers covered sessions in real time. (Sample Tweet: “Can someone tell me what #ONA08 is? It’s all over the place.”)
• The Online Journalism Awards, the only annual awards competition recognizing the best and the brightest work in digital news, received 800 entries.
• Tina Brown spoke just weeks before launching The Daily Beast.
