Just a note that in August, I will be heading to the Gnomedex Conference in Seattle. b5media won’t be there in force or anything. I’ll be there purely as an attendee, though we will have some new tech to show off (that might help with this problem, or it might not… but we’re hoping it does!).
Either way, hoping to hangout, catchup with old friends, mend some bridges.
My gut says this year’s ‘Dex will be a bit more introspective (spurred on by discussion started by Robert), and I think it’s time to evaluate how far blogging’s come, ways it’s surpassed our expectations and ways it hasn’t met our expectations… and how we can overcome some of the current climate and issues as a community … and Gnomedex is a great place to do that introspection.
If we’re lucky, we’ll be able to show off new branding, new partnerships and a refinement on the blog network model that might strike a chord… And if not, we’re hoping for feedback that can refine it even further!
Either way, this year’s Gnomedex promises to be full, fun, educational, challenging and… for my first time ever, sans Marc Orchant, who I still think about on a tremendously regular basis.
If you’re heading to Gnomedex and want to catch up (about something, nothing or everything), let me know
