If you are looking for the latest and greatest Affiliate Summit pictures, videos, news, twits and overviews… stay tuned to the 5 Star channel. I scour the net, so you don’t have to! This is the most comprehensive Affiliate Summit coverage available anywhere. (Even Technorati doesn’t have it all!)

During previous Affiliate Summits it was harder to find the news as it happened. Now so many people are blogging live at the event that there is a ton more action to keep up with. So rather than try to even paraphrase or do an overview of each one, I’m going to just have to do a big list by title.

Following in no particular order are all the blogs, pics and vids I’ve found so far. I’ll add more as I find it. If I missed yours, add to comments and I’ll be sure it gets on the list.

I’m sick and my computer is really slow, so this has taken forever. Need to take a break. I’ll be back later to add to this thread, so keep checking back. And remember if I missed your Summit blog or pics, post in comments and I’ll add it.

Summit Mega Round-up ROUND 2 Monday 2/25 11:15 AM

Live Blogging the Jason Calacanis Keynote at Affiliate Summit Sam from Revenews gives a blow-by-blow account. Sheesh, I’m glad I wasn’t at this one. Sure is an interesting read. Here’s a couple quotes:

10:15am “Affiliate people doing spam can abuse these systems only so much before they collapse.”

10:15am “We’re tolerant of these people polluting the web. Affiliate companies are enabling the polluters of the well and turning a blind eye.”

10:20am “Truth is, much of this affiliate stuff is bullshit ponzi scheme where people got lucky and made a lot of money not doing much.”

10:22am “The internet has turned into a criminal mindset game.

10:22am Calacanis busting Shoemoney, Zac Johnson and the guys who post their earning checks.

Sheesh Calacanis - a little down on affiliate marketing or what? No really, don’t hold back, tell us what you really think! ;-)

At 1st I agreed with Trust’s comment about - why would you have someone that hates affiliate marketing so much, do the keynote? Then in thinking about it more - I decided it was a brilliant move. Many big Internet personalities and marketers share his view of our industry. It’s a fact! I think pressure from people like Jason may help us do a better job of self policing and at least trying to clean up our industry.

Affiliate Summit - Day 1 Keynote Speech

JASON SPEAKS: Jason Calacanis himself blogs about his keynote. He really doesn’t say much except “The Affiliate Summit keynote went really well…. it was less controversial and more substance.” Hmmm… sounded pretty controversial to me, based on what I’m reading. So interesting to hear the different points of view. Some good comments on his blog too.

LAST but not LEAST: Thank you Jason Calacanis by Scott Jangro! Wow Scott, dynamic post! Thank you! I wasn’t there but I think you summed up the essence and the lesson our industry needs to learn.
