BlogHer Business 2009 Recap

Last year, I was fortunate to attend BlogHer Business.  At that point, it was a 2 day conference held in winter in NYC.  I was so jazzed about it, and the inspiration it gave me, that I was moved to write this and this post.
This year, I attended BlogHer Business 2009.  It was held last [...]

BlogHer 09 Recap

If you’re following Twitter or the Blogosphere, you know that there is a LOT being said, in support of and critically speaking about the conference.  And that’s ok.  Unlike BlogHer Business, which I covered here, it was a really good experience.  I’ve come up with a few points I wanted to share, but really want [...]

(Your sponsorship here)

I’m back from BlogHer 09 (which given my tweets of the past few days, I am surprised I did not automatically call #blogher09 here) and starting to process what went on.  I have a unique perspective, in that I attend BlogHer both as a blogger, and a female (dare I say “Mommy”?) blogger, but also [...]

Blogging BlogHer – Live from Chicago

I’m almost through with BlogHer Business and am getting ready for the mania of BlogHer 09 tomorrow and Saturday.  It’s kind of overwhelming and comforting, new and yet familiar.  I’m happy to see some old friends and meet some new faces.  I’m especially glad to have my co-workers here – always good to have some [...]

Last Friday, a call went out via @skydiver on Twitter for ordinary people to comment on the John Edwards cheating allegations and his forthcoming interview confession.  I sent a note to the reporter with some thoughts, and after a follow-up phonecall with her, I wound up quoted in the piece.
Like many in Chicago at BlogHer [...]

Since people I work with have been asking for a BlogHer recap from me, I figured I better put something up here.  And what’s better than a post, that requires BIG THOUGHTS?  How about some awesome photos of me hobnobbing with celebrities?
This was after the MommyBlogging, Radical Act or Not, Let’s Discuss session.  Susan, who was [...]

HOPE = the “Anti-BlogHer”

While I was attending BlogHer this past weekend (“Really?  You were there, because I haven’t read all that much about it on your blog or anywhere else!”) my colleague David was attending what was billed as the Last HOPE conference.   We both had the time of our lives at our respective conferences, but as we [...]

OMG OMG OMG

Being on the Blog to Book panel was more amazing than I could imagine. I was so nervous, but it seemed to go well. I’m writing this from the closing keynote where I’m half listening, half reading Tweets about what people thought of the session. The response was amazing, overwhelming, and most [...]

Side effect of BlogHer – more great blogs to read

I just attended day 1 of BlogHer and I’m very happy to say it’s all I hoped it would be.
The last panel of the day (for me at least) was Mommyblogging: Mirrors: Ours, The Media’s, Our Cultures, Our Kids. The women who were on the panel were sharp, insightful, and very empowering.
People who know me [...]

BlogHer Blog to Book redux

We’re just about one week, make that 7 days from BlogHer…and it’s time to get moving!
As you may know from my incessant blogging on the topic, I’m going to be speaking at BlogHer.  Not only that, I am moderating the panel.  Which means I have a good reason for the rash I just broke out [...]
