Kristi and I attended the Utah Technology Council Hall of Fame induction event tonight at the Grand America Hotel. I'd been invited in prior years but had always turned it down. I always assumed it would be boring. The room was full of 800 of Utah's key government officials, CEOs, CFOs, Venture Capitalists and business leaders. Senators Hatch and Bennett spoke and a keynote address was delivered by Jerry Yang, Co-Founder and CEO of Yahoo. Yahoo is one of those companies that has revolutionized the Internet. In Utah there are 2.5 million residents, 1.5 million of whom are registered with Yahoo. There aren't many products that can claim such broad adoption of their technology. Mr. Yang spoke for about 30 minutes and was a down turn earth, fascinating speaker.
