Thanks again to everyone who came to Ignite. We know from the door at the bar that over 200 people had come through by then; we also know that there were a ton of people who were never counted. Our estimates put the total number of people between 250 and 300. Wow!

Thanks to the people who have blogged about the event. Here are the posts that I was able to find via incoming traffic and Technorati.
