This is exciting. Celebrity photographers prowling New York City captured some rare video footage of Xerpi founder Con Way Ling!

The video's a little shaky — maybe it wasn't a real celebrity photographer — but someone's uploaded video of Con Way's presentation at a technology conference called the New York Tech Meetup.

He's not accompanied by Paris Hilton, but Xerpi marketing director Jen Yip is there to explain public views of favorites to the dazzled audience of technophiles. And Con Way triumphed over a restrictive time limit by distilling the essence of Xerpi into a couple clear insights.

"Everything's customizable," he says — names, titles, and even the location of links and blocks — and "it frees you up from the traditional limits of lists of tags"

Someone who was there was apparently impressed with Xerpi's simplicity, calling it "much more mainstream-targeted" than similar sites.

Xerpi's not a secret any more.....
