BlogWorld & New Media Expo 2008
By brilliantjeni • Sep 22nd, 2008 • Category: Blogosphere NewsWell, just finished up a great 4 day weekend in Las Vegas, attending Blog World & New Media Expo 2008. What a weekend! A bit overwhelming, how much information and people I came across. Chatting with Darren Rowse, John Chow, and David Bullock were certainly highlights of the event, but I was also impressed with the number of new and existing companies coming out of beta. You know I’m all about “the new” so now I’m armed with weeks of blog-worthy material.
I’m heading back to California later today (kicking and screaming, mind you. You would too if you saw the spa I’m leaving behind at the Westin.) I’ll be going through my bags of blogging paraphernalia (Bloggers Vitamin C and chocolate goose eggs- enough said) and sharing the details on the who and what of Blog World 2008 for the next few weeks so stay tuned!
PS. NormalJoe, I wasn’t joking man, I got you an F’ Google T-Shirt- xl works?

Jeni,
Just listened to the audio of you and Normal Joe. Good stuff. Way to share your experience with the people. I will be hanging around these parts from time to time.
Peace, F Google, and talk to you soon! LOL!
Hey Jeni,
All of those guys that you mentioned are not only amazing businessmen, but they are also really down to Earth and helpful guys, which is awesome. I actually had the chance to interview Darren Rowse, who is one cool Aussie…check out this post if you get a few minutes to burn: http://blog.hubpages.com/2008/09/its-all-about-the-connections-thoughts-highlights-and-lessons-learned-from-blog-world-expo-08/.
Oh, and don’t worry about traveling for sushi…I do the same exact thing.

Hey thanks Freddie! Glad you liked it. I’m heading to Blog Orlando this coming weekend and looking forward to sharing that experience too. After that, it looks like Web 2.0 in Berlin. I’m loving these events and happy I can share with those who can’t make it this year!

Just listened to your interview on imwithjoe.com. Great stuff!
I love the term “passive income” . I will be browsing around your blog from time to time to learn a little more about this.
Hey Ryan, thanks for dropping that link- GREAT video and summaries on those speakers. I’m heading to Blog Orlando this weekend- should I be watching for your camera?
@bigknoxy Glad you liked that- I really was a bit nervous but hopefully I’ll be more relaxed for the Blog Orlando event this weekend. Passive income- it’s a great term isn’t it? Not certain how much of that I’ll cover on this blog but I will definitely be tailoring my AdClickology.com site to my passive income strategies. It’s still new, but do keep an eye on it; sounds like it’s right up your alley!

Hi Brilliant Jeni! Thanks for checking out Breaking News Every Few Minutes (24/7)
Just heard your chat with Joe and now I know how this works out. He gets a great shirt huh? Whats in it for the rest of us? I’m just kidding. Thats a great thought. I was just happy to hear that you met some of the top bloggers. I’m sure it was really exciting.

Jeni,
Very cool audio of you and Joe, and for a newbie to blogging it was great to get an insight of how you successful bloggers think.
It still amazes me that people are making a great living out of blogging, and I look forward to hearing a lot more audio from you in the future.
Btw, have you considered developing a regular podcast to share your blogging experience. You sound like a natural, and I am sure that with all of your online acquaintances, you will never be short of subject matter.
Thanks again,
AJ
