So for the first time since the BlogHer09 Conference I have 5 minutes to sit and think and write. From July 24-25, 1200+ women gathered in Chicago for a conference by, about and for women bloggers. Mommybloggers, FitnessBloggers, HealthBloggers, BusinessBloggers, ShoppingBloggers, HumorBloggers, PetBloggers, and any other kind of blogger you could imagine. There were also [...]

[NOTE - Adding the opening from the Liveblogging of this session here as well as the links for the panel participants and others where I could find 'em - THANKS to the person who liveblogged this - they did a great job] Chronic or acute disease can change your life overnight…and make you feel as [...]

Another mind-bomb from the desk of Chris Brogan concerns Comment policies for corporations. Its a solid piece of experience and sharing – comments aren’t scary, users aren’t all looking to “dis” you, but you have to plan and have principles and rules to follow. You might say, “let the chips fall where they may.” But [...]
