What Bloggers Are Saying About Us

“The idea of a bunch of bloggers getting together just screams geekville. But the more blogs i read, the more I blog and the more fans of blogs i meet, the more a blogging convention seems like an idea whose time has come.”

Last November my boss over at the Trib asked me if I wanted to attend the Blogworld conference in Vegas and bring back a report on new media opportunites. I thought it was a little strange since it had nothing to do with my job (I'm a tech); but I couldn't turn down an all expense paid trip to Vegas. So my natural response was "hell yea".I had never blogged before, but after going to the expo and experiencing the energy and community of the bloggers first hand, I couldn't wait to get home and set up a blog. I came back energized and bursting with ideas to bring back to our web team.

(Poynter Online) A watershed moment for milblogs happened in 2005 when CNN's then-news chief Eason Jordan was reported as saying at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that he knew of 12 journalists who were killed by coalition forces in Iraq. (Jordan later backpedaled from those remarked.)Said Schippert, "Milbloggers banded together over that. The gauntlet was laid down, and we told Jordan to put up or shut up. We asked him to release the tape from this conference and own up to what he said. That got milbloggers a lot of attention, and Jordan left CNN not long afterward.

A couple months ago I took a trip to Las Vegas for the BlogWorld Expo. It was a great experience and I met so many people. I even bumped into bloggers like Liz Strauss whose blog I've been reading for quite some time. I also attended a Zappos party where I met and briefly spoke to Suzie Cheel of Abundance Highway. Now I'm a subscriber to Suzie's blog and have been reading about her own abundance journey.Suzie has a blog post titled Abundance is a Feeling which is a great read. What has really helped me get to that realm of feeling abundant is looking at my vision board every day.

But in all seriousness, I wanted to make you aware of a very interesting website service I uncovered at the BlogWorld Expo called ScratchBack.com.ScratchBack is an online "tipping" system. It allows blog authors to accept tips and "give back" links or images in return.

A couple weeks ago, I wrote about my experience at the BlogWorldExpo political panels, and noted the alarming moral degeneracy among the conservative attendees. I was helped in this by the notes taken by K T Cat. He made my point for me by condensing several examples of this government's behavior (warrantless wiretapping, shredding the Constitution, going to war on lies, etc.) that I find more offensive than words for sex and body parts into the dismissive phrase "Bush administration policies," then promptly declaring that sexual attitudes should be the top priority of society. Right.

Use of Flip Video at Blog World Expo

Jim Kukral with Flip Video at BWEI went to Blog World and New Media Expo at the Las Vegas Convention Center last Dec 7th, 8th, and 9th, and I have to say that I had a great time. I am fascinated by some of the newer media being used as social objects such as podcasts and video. The term podcast I have since found out is being de-emphasised because of its connotation with a single commercial product the ipod and replaced with the term new media. The only thing about audio and video is that it is not directly text searchable.

Since I've been reading the book,The Spirit to Serve Marriott's Way, I wanted to see for myself just how great the service is. I was actually blown away by the experience. The server was upbeat and friendly - absolutely nothing "fake" in her demeanor. Every server that passed by my table acknowledged me either with a smile or hello.

You ever find you try and fit something into an event space and it just doesn't fit. I mean it feels right and looks good on paper but when you actually get there it is just off.I just sent off a budget to a client and we had a nice number to work with. But things just add up. Some cool stuff though 52 foot screen, pyro, custom song, spider technology for graphics, videos its going to be really fun! But will it all fit?Sadly nothing can be perfect but you try to put the best show on possible for your attendees.

If you're a child or young adult and your parents abuse you, what do you do?

It's a slow weekend, so I'm going to try this again, even though last time I reviewed a film you all flamed me. This time, I think your reaction will be different, because I saw two spectacular films recently; one of them you've probably seen already, the other you haven't, because "The Kite Runner" hasn't yet had its general release. "The Kite Runner" was the special screening many of us in attendance at BlogWorldExpo got to see the night before the conference opened, at a small theater tucked away behind (but not connected to) the MGM Grand Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.

Flip Video is a Hit at BlogWorld Expo

Last week at BlogWorld Expo Patsi and I did video interviews with some of the bloggers we met. I use a Flip Video camera and I have to say, it was a hit with everyone we talked to. Everyone wanted to know how it worked and how much it cost. The original one (at left) that I own is $119 at Amazon.com and the new Flip Ultra is $149 and comes in a variety of colors: black, white, pink and orange.

They have an excellent team of bloggers, editors, managers, sales pros, and IT wizards who are all singularly focused on success. We are excited to be working with them.We didn't take nearly as many pictures of the b5media team as we should have - I guess we were too busy talking, getting to know each other, and strategizing.

Now that I've actually recuperated from my trip to Vegas for the BlogWorld Expo, I'm able to step back and see all the great relationships I formed during those two very short days that I was there. It's one thing to communicate with bloggers via email and through comments on your blog or their blog, but nothing beats actually sitting with a blogger face to face and just sipping cocoa in a cafe (like I did with Liz Strauss) or playing Wii at a trade show booth with people who feel like long-time friends although it's the first time you've met them in person.

Social media sometimes appears to be an inch deep and a mile wide. At least that is the way it looks to some because social media, or new media, is still in its infancy. As a result, it’s often easier to build an extension to the wafer thin model than dig deeper, proving or disproving what is being considered today.

Instead, I'll just give a summary and analysis.

As blogging continues to gain popularity these online networks are going to explode. Facebook, Gather and LinkedIn were three of the sites that were mentioned the most for business.One thing I realized at the expo is that even with 50,000+ members, ActiveRain is just a drop in the online bucket.

I'm back from the BlogWorld Expo in Las Vegas and it was an extremely successful event on the sports blogging side. We had sessions featuring Rob Neyer of ESPN.com, Will Leitch of Deadspin and a cadre of incredibly talented sports bloggers. And the best part? We had some great interaction with aspiring bloggers, which was really the intention of the event. We need to push sports blogging forward and I think the sessions did just that. Any way, it's officially award season for Major League Baseball and I wanted to do my own little award today.

BlogWorld Expo Wrap Up

11/12, 12:40 pm
BlogWorld Expo was a great first blogging and podcasting event. While there were very few podcasters their the interest was still quite high by many bloggers. One of the things that Leo Laporte said during his Friday very early morning keynote was that Bloggers need to be Podcasting and Podcasters need to be Blogging.

I went to the BlogWorldExpo last week, having been invited at nearly the last minute to sit on a couple panels with a grab bag of wingnuttia's most famous and some very cool liberal bloggers. Jeralyn at TalkLeft, my co-panelist on a session about elevating political discourse on the blogs, has the guest list. I think the right blog reaction to me was probably summed up best by Michael Medved's incredulous, "you're a vegetarian, too!?," response when he saw me with an appetizer plate of zucchini and hummus at the opening night party.

So are we Spoiled? Let me set up where I am going here... At this past weekends 1st annual Blogworld Expo in Las Vegas there was a panel on bloggers gaining acceptance. While the question was broken down in a few different catagories the majority of the focus was in regards to the mainstream media. Jamie Mottram from Yahoo, Rob Neyer from ESPN and Chris Ballard from SI.com offered a lot of helpful tips both to all in attendance but privately as well in my conversations with them. I hope to write more on the whole experience later.

BlogWorld Expo - Some Random Thoughts

I'm at McCarron Airport in Las Vegas, waiting for my flight back to Burbank after attending the BlogWorld Expo. Since I'm not in a rush, I gave up my seat on the overbooked flight I was on in exchange for $100 + the cost of my flight. That will pay for my flight to see my family at Christmas! And it gives me some time to reflect on the last few days. For me, BWE started on the flight to Las Vegas when I was seated next to a fellow who had been hired by Pajamas Media, one of the BWE sponsors, to entertain folks at their booth.

My personal life was very eventful last week, so I apologize for the lack of posts. My family and friends tend to think of me as the go-to person whenever they need counseling and unfortunately that took it's toll on me emotionally and physically. However, it made me think that I should get out to BlogWorld Expo after all - just to get back into the groove of things! Things like this often happen within a business setting as well. There is internal conflict that needs to be squashed and often times it affects our interactions with customers.

Posting to my blog from my phone is something I can already do, so I wasn't immediately sold on the idea. But, once I saw that you could post audio, video and text I was now interested.

They held a blog party, er, an exposition, called BlogWorldExpo in Las Vegas this week. Thousands of bloggers showed up - I guess no genealogy blogger attended. Too bad. It would have been fun. Rubbing elbows with the "big boys and girls." Seminars, forums, talks, parties, dinners, arguments, sharing, etc. I guess it would have been even funnier if only one Genea-blogger had attended - a party of one. Were any genea-bloggers invited or even aware of BlogWorldExpo? I knew about it because of who I mindlessly listen to on the radio while concentrating on genealogy in the Genea-Cave.

He started “This Week in Tech.” It was something they were doing anyway in phone calls with each other, talking about technology. The podcasts are these conversations recorded. This echoes what we’ve discussed at my work for getting podcasts from management, a capture of conversations they’d have anyway.Their podcast is done by two people in a tiny office. They’re getting about $250K per year in advertising.

There weren’t too many vendors at BWE, which was good, because there wasn’t much time to see the exhibits between the seminars. Many vendors were giving away freebies in drawings - things like iPods, iPhones, XBoxes, and even the elusive Nintendo WII.

Hello....... attending the 2007 Blogworld and New Media Expo; will have a regular post for you tomorrow. The horse race is on, and the buzz--- discord in the Evangelical camp. Until then keep the political conversations going!!

A story you might have missed, as the regular press doesn't cover good news much.

This post will be up top all day. New stuff will come in below. The BlogWorld Expo has been fun and useful. And today's big post was going to be about that. But not now. I'll probably get an Expo post up later in the day - but since my time is limited this morning, well, I think this bit of news is more important than just another blogger bloviating about bloggers at a blogging convention, a topic pretty much only of interest to bloggers. Meet First Lieutenant Walter Jackson - someone you should know. So should your kids. This is one tough Redleg.

At the Blogworld Expo, The Exhibitors Were the Message

PJM Las Vegas: What set Blogworld apart from other conventions and trade shows Rick Moran has attended in his time - was the level of enthusiasm of the attendees crowding exhibits eager to see their the latest innovations. If the unique "inspiration and creativity in each other’s accomplishments, ideas, and content" that he witnessed endures, the blogosphere will be in good shape.

One of the nice things about BlogWorld Expo was getting to chat about baseball with dudes who's blogs I read. At lunch today, which Blez paid for (thank you, Blez), I got the chance to chat with Al from Bleed Cubbie Blue, Matt from MetsBlog and Brandon from Acme Packing Company. Much of the talk was about blogging in general, what with Matt going at it full time, but we also had the chance to compare notes on our readers and what it's like to try to appease all kinds of different personalities.

Good afternoon again from BlogWorldExpo
Terrible Teacher
11/9, 5:28 pm
Good afternoon again from BlogWorldExpo. I'm starting to think this conference is a big ego-stroke fest for those who live, eat, and sleep their own and other blogs. Maybe that's just my cynical side? I'm in a political blogging session, trying to steal ideas for my social studies class. They are discussing campaign blogging right now, which I will be using in my elections unit next month. Interesting - 'political professionals' are a bit afraid of blogs. I'm guessing they aren't the only ones. I know teachers are afraid of them.

I'm very glad I came and it exceeded all of my expectations. I had a couple of concrete goals related to my real job that BlogWorld satisfied perfectly.The one drawback to the show has nothing to do with the show, but everything to do with blogging.

Highlights from 11.08.07 4 PM session: Blogging and Television @ BlogWorldExpo. I came to this session expecting a talk about the intersection of blogging and television, perhaps even some highlights on Vlogging (video blogging). It was definitely a good panel, each participant had great case studies to share and presented their information with clarity and insight. The but here is that it wasn't as fluid in terms of what was presented, as each participant came from extremely different backgrounds. Read on, and you'll see what I mean.

All right, the pressure is off. I sat on the panel for the session titled "From The Front" and had fun. I did manage to get a word in edgewise... ok, I ran my mouth like a fool, but I had fun. Actually, it was a great discussion. Ward Carroll of Military.com moderated and fielded some great questions. I enjoyed listening to MAJ Ziegenfuss talk, very interesting. TF Boggs of Vox Veterana and Teflon Don of Acute Politics rounded out the panel. Some very interesting guys.Some great discussion, some great food for thought that will likely lead to some posts in the near future.

Sat in on a terriffic milblog session, Blogging from the Front. Of course my favorite speaker of all time is Jack Army and he didn't disappoint. I was surprised to see the audience demographic almost an even split between male and female. Not that that's a bad thing, just an interesting observation for me. It was surprising to see the audience a little on the sparce side. I thought the milblog track of seesions was quite popular and full of relevant current events. I could be biased...nah. I'm a little on the tired side today, and not for the reason you would think...

The panel consisted of Ward Carroll (moderator), Tim Boggs, Thomas Nichols, Chuck Ziegenfuss and Gordon Alanko. Uncle Jimbo was in the audience. The audience was very, very sparse. Fewer than 20 people came.Chuck got started blogging when he got fed up with the lack of complete reporting from Iraq. He was very unhappy with what he saw and how he felt it was inaccurate.Tim was deployed in the initial invasion of Iraq. The week after he got back, the Abu Ghraib story broke and he saw how totally inaccurate the reporting was.

In the first session, I took Will and Deadspin to task for making fun of people too much.

Simpson stormed into the Blogworld Expo today and threatened attendees with kidnapping if they didn't comply with his demands to stop "hotlinking" to pictures on his blog, ifididit.com. "Hotlinking" is direct linking to another site's files (pictures, pdfs, etc.) without that site's permission. Some people consider it theft, as it uses the original site's resources.

Acute Politics
11/8, 8:02 pm
Which is a better way to attract wanderers to a blog booth: free beer or beautiful women in short skirts? That's a question that may well be answered at the first Blogworld and New Media Expo in Las Vegas. Me, I'm currently more attracted to the beer- something that the women in my life will probably be happy(er) to hear. Yeah mom, you're on that list. It's been an eventful day.

boothsnowavailablenexttotheslotmachinesMan, I am missing out. Today is the first day of the Blogworld and New media expo at the Las Vegas convention ctr. The slogan is "be more influential be more effective be more connected be more at blogworld." Now, the average corner in the hood has more followers than my blog. But I don’t let that inconvenient truth get in the way. In other news, Iran is holding a French filmmaker in jail. She found some mass graves. There is also a picture circulating of Mahmoud Ahmadinejah in a meeting with Ayatollah Khomeni.

Good afternoon from BlogWorldExpo in Vegas. It's not specifically directed to educators, of course, but it is interesting. I am hoping I will gain some ideas on how to work blogging and other communication methods in to my online classroom. I'm in a seminar right now having a discussion about the ramifications of censorship, how free expression works in the U.S. vs. the rest of the blogging world, etc. Apparently in other countries it is important to regulate comments because of liability issues that we may not have here in the U.S.

Here at the Expo and already having fun. (No kids...coincidence?...I think not)Tons of stereotypical geeky bloggers to laugh at and at the same time some great bloggers to learn stuff from. Not to suggest at all that you can't learn anything from the geeks quite the contrary in fact. Anyhoo...Jack Army and I are sitting in on the milblogging track. Good info and although some of it was a wee bit over my head, it amazes me how far blogging, specifically milblogging, has come.

The fellow who runs the blog called 24thState is definitely a wingnut, but he's largely as non-objectionable a wingnut blogger as there is in the state (kind of like being the world's tallest dwarf), so I'll draw some attention here to something he's written. Today he blogs from a trade event called BlogWorldExpo and writes specifically about the presentation of a Ravi Singh. In his post, he characterizes a piece of Singh's presentation thusly: Update: Ravi just dropped another bombshell.

Blogworld Expo 07 - Thursday Keynote
The Scratching Post
11/8, 12:16 pm
Thursday's keynote was given by Matt Mullenweg of WordPress. Here are a few (snarky) notes.WordPress representation was huge here. The majority of the audience were WordPress users.WordPress has 350 servers and one server admin. 100M unique hits per month, supported by 18 people. That’s probably not a perfectly accurate analogy as they are not content creators. They hire very deliberately, looking for the ultimately productive. This mirrors what I heard at the Branding Conference I went to last year where Starbucks shaped their company through the hiring process.OK, I quit.

You enter the airport and there are the slot machines, right there in the terminal, here and there all the way till you exit to get a cab. The place is pretty dead. I didn't have any expectations one way or the other about the town before arriving. Even so, it's clear that the plastic surgeons do a lot of business here, based on folks riding on the plane with me and people I encountered in the terminal. Silicone rules, way too much flesh seems artificial.

The report is expected to be released at some point before spring training, and its release almost certainly will be followed by a flurry of 50-game, first-time offense suspensions from Commissioner Bud Selig. Imagine how crazy the baseball landscape could look next April if the players union is not successful in getting the suspensions thrown out.

It is a clever way to get people interested in your content. It is the hook, but you still need the great content to follow with.Many folks sent me twitter messages that they loved reading the blog yet the Bubble Guru crashed their computers consistently. I have to listen to the people and give them what they want.

Fortunately I got to visit with Patsi and our colleague Kathleen Gage at breakfast and at dinner. But the one other person I would like to have seen is my marketing mentor, Tom Antion. No matter how many times I've heard his presentations, I always learn something new from him and in this case I would like to have closely studied his speaking style.

While planning my IZEA trip to BlogWorld/PostieCon I created a map of key locations such as the Hard Rock, Las Vegas Convention Center, Tao, Bellagio and others. The current zoom level allows you to see all the points of interest, but it's more fun when you zoom in -- for example, check out how clearly you can see the Bellagio fountains. I'm not sure how much collaborative mapping Google provides so if you'd like a relevant location added to the map, just leave it in the comments. I hope to see you there!

It was because it seemed like the principal purpose would be for companies to sell products to bloggers and I wasn't (and am not) interested in going somewhere to go shopping. But, it turns out there's lots of good seminars and panels and they've added a political blogging program.

Sometimes, people do something really awesome, sweet, rewarding, or deserving as this case may be that needs to be publicly recognized. Today, that someone did something for me and I'm beyond myself excited about it that I couldn't not blog my public "thank you" even though she's already heard it and may never read my blog.

They'll be presented at this year's BlogWorld Expo. I pity the poor sod who has to readout the dumb-name nominations. (Pet Jawa, The Mountain Goat Report, Average Gay Joe, Finslippy et. etc.) I've noticed that I know far less of these bloggy places than I did last year. Some of these places - including the big ones - get nominated like actors and actresses get Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - rabid and nonsensical fans - & $10,000.

Now that I have had a couple of days with this thing I figured I should post about it. One of the things that PayPerPost (now IZEA) is doing prior to Postiecon (and the Blogworld Expo) is the Blog America Tour. Ted and the guys are stopping in several different cities on the way to Vegas and at each stop the postie that brings out the most canned goods for them to donate, get's an iRobot Roomba. Some of the comments I heard about it was that it was a life changing thing. I don't know about all that but it is certainly way cool! Remember that contest I entered with my post about the robot?

The social media aspect of the position was right up my ally, but the finance aspect covered areas that I have moved out of, actually moved out of about 6-7 years ago. I think the position is interesting however, and so as I venture to BlogWorld next week, I intend to keep my eyes, ears, comments and email open for people that might be interested in a local job in Charlotte.

PODCAMP BOSTON (Picture is of Austrailia)Reading through my Bloglines feeds this morning a lot of talk about Podcamp Boston was alive. I gathered it was a great time once again. Lots of learning and conversations going on. They have a passionite community which is having some growing pains. Basically, Podcamp is a free community based event that costs nothing to attend and anyone can speak. They have been held all over the world. The farthest away being Podcamp Perth. The topics are usually about Podcasting but have evolved to Media.

BlogWorld & New Media Expo - Blogs Go Mainstream...A couple of months back, I was at the Bangalore BarCamp, [a Bloggers collective version] which was nothing but a series of talks and discussions on an extensive list of topics, of course in a un-conference format. The blogging world is catching up fast, with the explosion of Internet facilities. And very soon the first and only industry-wide tradeshow, conference, and media event dedicated to the furtherance of the dynamics of blogging and new media, the BlogWorld & New Media Expo is coming.

Cherie Does Vegas
Welcome to Pottersville
10/30, 5:57 pm
No, it’s not the name of the newest Jenna Jameson/Ron Jeremy video. Personally, though, this shindig sounds like a disappointing followup to the first Yearly Kos in Las Vegas last year. Perhaps the reason why it sounds that way is because the Blogworld Expo that’s going to take place next weekend on the 8th and 9th of November is going to be packed with right wingers. And, to her credit, Constant Reader Cherie is going to be there ( Let’s pray that she brought enough Koolaid antidote and Republican anti-venom). Among the luminaries:Assrocket of Powerline.

Perhaps the Conservative blogworld has been all over this, but why is a Tory government getting invoved in the prices that retailers charge Canadian consumers?The Canadian dollar is up against the US$, so yes, some prices should go down. But retailers don't need the government's permission to raise or lower prices, so why is it Ottawa's business whether retailers pass on the savings or not? Surely the marketplace is competitive enough that consumers can find alternatives to retailers who decide to keep this windfall for themselves?

Made more so of course because I was playing catchup (on work, on teaching, on sleep) since I'd been away at Big Conference.

10/17, 12:52 pm
It has been about 3 weeks since I went jogging last, and I was hurting for some exercise. It seems to me that during those stretches of time, when I get distracted or preoccupied and fail to get exercise, life gets more stressful. I suspect that when I do not exercise, my body builds up negative something (hormones, stress, chi, something) and I can't get back on track until I burn some of that negative stuff out of my system. So today, I got up late (on purpose and after working late last night). I went for a 3-4 mile run, then walked one of the dogs for another mile after that.

Sorry folks but I have some bad news for you. As it now stands it appears that Blog Bloke will not be attending BlogWorld like I had announced earlier.As you know last year I was asked by CEO Rick Calvert to speak at the first annual conference that is being held in Las Vegas next month.I didn't hear anything more about it until not long ago when Rick asked me again, but as a panel member only. Unfortunately all attempts by myself to find an empty seat on a panel has been fruitless thus far.

Tech Monday: It's A Blog World After All
Fast Company Now
10/15, 10:40 pm
Back in the spring, there was some discrepancy about whether there are actually 70 million blogs in the world. David Sifry of Technorati posted "The State of the Live Web" in April and revealed a steady growth in blogs to the tune of 120k blogs each day. Of this great number, it was discovered, that perhaps only 15.5 million of the blogs are actually even active, and that perhaps blogging has reached a plateau. "There are tech bloggers who say it's dying, but that doesn't mean for everyone else it is.

I've noticed a trend in blogworld of late. I like to call it the "Look at me Look at me" blog.Now, blogging in general is a "look at me" kind of activity. But there are blogs out there where the blogger is Queen of the Barn and the sheep flock around her. It doesn't matter what craft, project, or personal crisis Barn Queen blogs about, the sheep can't get enough. Even if its obviously ugly. Or poorly made. Or just boring.It's like a quasi-high school popularity contest, which, by the way...I thought we all outgrew a couple of decades ago.

"There are tech bloggers who say it's dying, but that doesn't mean for everyone else it is. Many of those bloggers were there at the beginning of the beginning, but to be quite honest, very few bloggers crossover outside of their niches. There's a viable future here. Magazines, radio shows, TV shows -- go out of business every day, blogging (blogging, vlogging, Internet radio, Internet tv) is the same thing," says Rick Calvert, CEO & Co-founder, BlogWorld & New Media Expo. "There's no sign at all that it has reached it's peak and dying, to the contrary, it's just the beginning.

It's Saturday morning, and I just came in from the patio. My battery was running out, and the sun was blinding. But I did complete most of my Saturday morning blog prowl, trying to catch up before I have to get on with real life matters.There seems to be a general sense of sadness in the Blogworld of late. Illness, death, matters of the heart gone awry. Unfortunately, these things happen. It's called "Life." I have no doubt that the tides will come and go, and those who are sad today will feel better next week, and those who are happy at the moment will have their moment of the blues.

Ok, I find this funny. They are having a big blog conference in the gamblers paradise this November. They are having bloggers actually speak! Aren't bloggers uber-geeks with no social skills? Why would another blogger actually listen? So all you blog fans, go to Las Vegas! They'll have blog exhibits! Maybe those guys in the rich blogs will get there, all expenses paid? I highly recommend that the new nuclear OPG guy attend, and then do something like the Sun blog guy. Now, that would be something I would help them with.

We stayed twice at the Flamingo and twice at the Sahara - ohhhhh that's 9 trips to Las Vegas. Now why am I telling you about Las Vegas? My 10th trip is planned, that's why!Crystal and I are going in November.

Top 25 Airfare Deals From Cheapoair
Shadowscope
10/11, 10:49 pm
I mentioned Cheapoair the other day here and mentioned the fact that I had found a great deal on a flight to Key West. I talked about the fact that I found some better deals through Cheapoair than I had found previously on some of the other search sites and then I found some that were comparable to what the others offer. Either way, being able to shop around is a great thing because with competition comes lower prices. One link I didn't notice when I was at the site was the Hot Deals. The Hot Deals link lists the Top 25 Airfare Deals by Cheapoair and some of these are really good.

If you are going or are in the San Francisco Bay Area lets grab a beer, coffee, martini or lunch, dinner and have a chat. I want to learn more about what other folks are doing in this fast moving space.

When you are tagged you need to write your own post containing your first or middle name game facts, word, or tidbit. 3.

You can also "plus up" a nomination, thus seconding the nomination and making it more likely to become a finalist. There's many excellent blogs over there to choose from.

She is originally from Wisconsin, it seems we may have literally graduated highschool at the same moment just 30 miles away from one another. She was in town for a fabulous weaving event at her mom's store - which is just blocks away from where my dad worked for several years and near a street where I had stumbled along on one of my first home visits on the job 14 years ago. The world is so small. And I love that. We met at a LYS where they have a cute little coffee shop nestled in back.

So next month a mess of us Blogger types are going to turn out in Las Vegas for the BlogWorld convention. Its going to be a rip roaring good time and its very likely that someone will figure out how to break into the underground vault at the Bellagio, not to actually steal any money or jewels or anything, but just to be able to get the scoop on a great blog story! That got me thinking that while they are breaking in to the Bellagio, the rest of us bloggers could do our part and run a distraction effort by hitting the bar in the Bellagio outside the famous water fountain show out front.

Didnt even know there was such a thing as the Blog World Expo until I saw this post on Copyblogger. It looks interesting, is relatively inexpensive, and is in my backyard, but I have 2 conferences in October, so Im not sure if Ill be able to spare the time.

BlogWorld is about a month away now and it wasnt til I talked with John Chow on the ShoeMoney Show that I actually decided that I would attend the event. I was skeptical because it was a new event and I already have another three trips planned to Las Vegas over the next four months so whats another! The major reason I want to attend BlogWorld, is to meet up with all the other bloggers out there that I have been reading on any possibly to meet up with some of my blog readers as well.

I am very excited. My boss and I are venturing to Las Vegas next month for the BlogWorld and New Media Expo. I am not sure how I stumbled upon this conference, probably in Inc., Fast Company or Business 2.0 (see PS below). But since we are going to start using more blogs and social media at our association (finally!) I convinced my boss we needed to go. I am going to be good however, and attend sessions as an association employee, not as a sports and association blogger. However, I am sure I can't help but think of those 2 while I am in sessions.

BlogWorld and New Media Expo -- Some Facts and Figures
Servant of Chaos
10/3, 3:24 pm
Mike Sansone reminded me that BlogWorld and New Media Expo is scheduled for early November 2007 ... and the time for discounts is almost over. The breadth and range of the speakers on offer demonstrate exactly how challenging "keeping up" with Web 2.0/social media really can be -- there are strategists, PR and advertising types, technologists, journalists, podcasters and others who cross all these boundaries. But the real reason that social media is fascinating is not the technology or even the ideas.

Class, your teacher is a bit under the weather, so I'm gonna make this post a brief one. I'm entering this silly contest just because my favorite blog curmudgeon/blogger Blog Bloke shared with me that he might be speaking at the upcoming Blog World Event in Las Vegas, and I wanna meet him in the flesh.Even though I just recently returned from Las Vegas, there are many other bloggers I'd like to check-out as well at this November event, so your blondalicious teacher is going for it! Perhaps you might like to enter as well?

Love you, too, Mom... I will.

"Our Guys" can poke his head in for a day or two!

It was brought to my attention by Annie Rhiannon that I had not blogged for some time. Here then is a quick roundup of things that happened during my blogworld absence:1. Visitors from Cornwall came, intent on spotting celebrities in That London. Within 48 hours they had racked up Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Noel Gallagher, Dustin Hoffman and Jodie Kidd, most of them in the organic wholefood supermarket in Kensington. Not to be outdone, Mr BC and I went to Sainsbury's and saw Rula Lenska. Chiswick is a hotbed of A-list stardom and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.2.

If the baby is late then things might not happen.so are you going? If so great leave me a note in the comments and hopefully we can meet during the event. If not, why not?

Hey bloggers. Now here are some interesting statistics about the bloggersphere and the Internet. I was always wondering what it's like out there in the Internet bloggerworld, what the numbers were actually like. And when I posted the Blog World Expo event the other day, I saw exactly that, what the numbers are like in the blogosphere. Below are the numbers that the Blog World Expo has on their website. The numbers are mind boggling to me and boy does that give me an interesting perspective into the blogosphere of the bloggerworld.

I am curious about how this year will go. With the birth of Podcamps, Barcamps, and Rick Calverts Blogworld the PME will really have to keep innovating to keep the community alive and well. Tim and Emil do a great job and I am really pulling for them. I think the PME move to Los Vegas next year is a good move. Everyone loves to visit Vegas. Even someone like me who goes for work and to visit family all the time.

Unfortunately, JILL and the girls won't be coming with. So, you'll have to put of with the worser half (that would be me). So, come see. Can I keep up with MAJ Ziegenfuss? That in itself will be a challenge. I mean, field grade officers are scary, aren't they? Heh. Should be fun.

CarCamp 2007 to the PME
[Mike McAllens Real Visions]
9/10, 2:26 pm
I have decided to drive down to the Portable Media Expo or PME this year. This will be my third year attending. The first year was really great. Lots of community, excitement and it felt like we were making history. Last year I did not get that same loving feeling. A lot of the sessions felt like I was being sold something, and I sat through several bad presentations. Maybe I picked my sessions badly but I didn't feel like I learned a ton. I do have to say the networking aspect was wonderful and the general sessions had a much better feel the second year.

At BlogWorld, theyll ruminate over whether bloggers should invite comments to their blogs as well as on blogging ethics, and blogging about popular culture. That sh!t should be riveting. Unless Im invited to be on a panel, Im not going.

Very cool in my opinion.Some people read to their children cute little books on how to behave or how to brush their teeth. I, on the other hand, only allow my children access to anything VW. I just think it's really important that they learn as young as possible that the ONLY thing that matters in this crazy life is what car you drive, and if it is a Volkswagen or not.

He is aiming high but appears to have done his sums... he will be looking for 500 sponsors to pay $100 each, thus raising the required $50,000.

Blogworld Expo, in Vegas this November, will have a Milblogging section. I'm not playing in this one, but if TDY allows, SWWBO and I will try to attend. The interesting thing about Blogworld Expo is that it's all bloggers, not just Polibloggers, Milbloggers, or Clogbloggers... Kinda like a Shot Show, or E3 for bloggers. I've met the guy pulling it together. Interesting fellow.

Theres no doubt in my mind that the conference would be a prime opportunity to network and pick up some great blogging tips, so I definitely think it would be worthwhile to go.

 Tonight I just by chance found out about a Blogging Expo in Las Vegas in November. Apparently the planning for this has been in progress for some time, but come on now -- how come no one knows about it? A blogging conference that no one is blogging about is not a good Omen. The conference tracks look pretty good and I think we will look at having a booth at the event but I am pretty surprised by the lack of publicity. Has anyone else heard about this event, does anyone know the people behind it and again how come no press on this. Honestly I am pretty shocked.

In 2004, when my son was deployed in Fallujah, Iraq, with his cammo-clad butt dodging mortar shellings and IEDs on a daily basis, I discovered blogs. My sanity depending on some sort of support system, I Googled for people in his unit and for families with deployed kids. Google hooked me up to a citizen-writer, unknown to most of the world and unpaid for his efforts. The writer, whose name I unfortunately don't recall, combed the Internet for news about my son's battalion. He published the good and the bad, with commentary, every day.

Central to the blog revolution for a few years was the idea that so-called mainstream media or MSM was no longer entitled to a monopoly on news coverage. Professional journalists would no longer have a lock on the news, some bloggers said, because the Internet made the proverbial guy at home in his pyjamas as powerful as, say, Peter Jennings on the evening news.

If you're heading to Vegas to cover BlogWorld & New Media Expo—"the world's first, industry-wide blogging tradeshow"—be sure you're properly credentialed.

Credentials will be offered on a case-by-case basis however, so not just any Joe with a blog can get in. Theyre looking for the A-list people. Everyone else is welcome to enjoy the show, which is designed to help bloggers improve the quality of their craft, but theyll have to pay like anyone else.

I noticed this brief article at the NYT about a blogging convention and thought that was a little weird. Blogging conventions sorta died in 2004-2005 not long after they started. But at least this one has some admission in its own blog that things are different in a post entitled "Is Blogging Dead?": Not according to Hugh MacLeod at Gaping Void. In two recent posts "Why Were All Blogging Less", and "Blogging Isnt Dead Its Just a Subset of Something Much Larger and More Important." More important???

But is the blogosphere about to go corporate?

Chalk this one up to the great moments in unintentional irony department. I just received an invitation to "the industry's first BlogWorld and New Media Expo." What's interesting is that the only people who can get in with a media pass are traditional press. Just what kind of blog and new media show is this?

Classic. Absolutely classic. Ironically, its people who work in the new media bloggers and citizen journalists who probably would benefit most from attending for free. But then, who else is going to attend but bloggers?

On November 7th, 2007 (three months from yesterday), I'm heading off to sin city for a 5-day mini vacation. I'll be attending the BlogWorld and PostieCon conferences that weekend. Thirteen Reasons I'm Excited About My Upcoming Las Vegas Trip I'm going by myself. — Since I'll be flying (I haven't flown in years!), Marcus won't accompany me. It'll be the first trip I've taken by myself ever. I'm really going to miss him, but I'm sure I'm going to have a blast. Meeting friends. — There are several people with whom I've become close to online that I've never met in real life.

The folks at Blogworld and New Media Expo compiled a handful of blogging statistics that offer a glimpse into the sheer volume of blogs and blog posts. Of greatest relevance to B2B blogging are two numbers. First, an overwhelming number of companies, almost 90 percent, say that blogs are important. And secondly, for those organizations struggling to capture attention and create relevance for their Web presence, its important to note that almost a fourth of the worlds 100 most visited Websites are blogs.

Has anyone seen my stitching mojo? I think I misplaced it. Or maybe, it went to Aruba on holiday. Anyway, it seems to be lost. If you happen across it, please send it home, as it's owner is missing it. Terribly.I haven't stitched anything in at least a week and a half. Just don't feel like it. Is it the Dog Days of Summer? Or just a needed break? I finished off a giftie and that's about it. For a few days, I looked for the fabric to M.Pollard cause I misplaced her. But I found her hiding out with another WIP this morning.

Yes, I'm anxiously awaiting getting my Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows book. If I'm still awake at 11:00 I'll go to the local bookstore where my book is reserved, buy my voucher, then take it home at midnight. Otherwise I'll pick up at 9:00 tomorrow morning when the store reopens.You won't see me around much this weekend. That's a guarantee. :-)The other thing I'm anticipating is my vacation that starts next week Saturday. Ichabod and I are going to Alaska. We're going to drive. It should be an interesting trip.
