We recently had the pleasure of sitting in on Chris Brogan's session at Podcamp Toronto 2009. It was called "Heresy, Hypocrisy, and SIn," and it was about how (1) money isn't a bad thing, so (2) there's nothing wrong with trying to make money from your blog, community, or whatever have you. In fact, one of Chris' concluding points was to give affiliate marketing a second thought -- or a first one if you haven't yet considered it.

Chris segwayed segued into his session by talking about the economy. He discussed unemployment projections, and how the economy is affecting oil, journalism, and IT. These are the highlights from those introductory remarks. You can also watch his entire 30 min session here.
