My other goal is to be your representative at the conference. BlogWorld has a jam-packed schedule of conference sessions, networking, and socializing, but I will do my best to get you some feedback and advice in response to your questions.

Rather than listen to just my take on things, I invite you to listen to a number of amazingly talented and generous bloggers I talked with at the conference. I absolutely believe there are enormous benefits to having a blog – if you have a plan and the dedication to stick with it. First up is Chris Brogan.

One of the ways that Twitter has been used (other than listed above) has been by conferences like South by Southwest (SXSW) and Gnomedex. They used Twitter, so that attendees could tweet and discuss the events with their followers. She provides consulting in internet marketing and manages Community Support & Advertising at Mashable.
