Blog Business Summit in L.A.

| | Comments (0)


Been here since 9:00 am with Anil and Marissa from Six Apart to join the Blog Business Summit. I've been working with the Blog Business Summit folks for a while, finding areas for collaboration to educate businesses about blogging. It's yet another branch of what I do at Six Apart. I was a little nervous dragging Anil and Marissa (Marissa and I left Oakland at 7:00am today, and Anil has been speaking in the sessions all day), but it's turning out so well. The balance between the sessions and what the audience wants to learn/hear is just about right, and the size is small enough that everyone is asking questions and talking to us.

We're all energized, and love getting out to meet people. Too often we get cocooned in our blogosphere and don't realize the real issues/fears people have about blogging. We see the benefits, but it is still a "wild west" new territory for many. It's great to talk to people and see their eyes light up, especially when we show solid examples. "Is that really a blog??" Why yes! Evangelizing is fun ;)
