IZEAFest Conference in September: Educate and Connect Bloggers & Advertisers
Looking for a September tech conference (why is it most tech conferences are in the spring, anyway?)? Consider IZEAFest, September 11-13, 2008. It takes place in Orlando, Florida and promises to let you:
Connect with other social marketers and content creators
Meet innovative and creative internet personalities
Learn how to become a well-rounded blogger
I’ll be personally helping to fulfill those promises by speaking on the topic of Improving Your Content, which I’m really excited about. It’s going to be a fun event. And folks, it so reasonable! Register right now for $50.00, and after May 14 for just $65. You really can afford this one.

Blogging Survey Puts GenX Age Group Out Front
Session 1 at BlogHer Business in New York this morning (man, an 8:30 start is rough when your body tells you it is really 5:30) is “The State of the Social Media World.” Elisa, Jory and Lisa of BlogHer kicked things off and then ran through a new survey of the blogosphere. Here are my big takeaways:
* 36 million women are in the blogosphere as readers or commenters
* 15 million women are publishing blogs
* the third most common reason for a blogger to stop publishing a blog (after lack of interest or time) is dissatisifaction with blogging tools
* although the media tells us that only young people are logging in significant numbers, it’s actually GenX (21 to 47, I think) that are really most active with blogs
* there are a lot of more men at this BlogHer event than the last one I went to
They’ve promised to post the survey presentation today, so when I know where you can get more information, I’ll update this post.
Hey, and if you’re here, leave me a comment so I know to look for you!
UPDATE: Here’s the link to the presentation PDF of the survey data.
Susie and Shane Interviewed on Blog Talk Radio
Shane and I were at SXSW Interactive for the past few days, meeting, greeting, listening and partying. (It’s a great conference for you Web tech geeks, if you’re interested.) While we were there we did an interview about the book with John Havens of BlogTalkRadio. It was really fun!
Better yet, you can listen to us talk about blogs and TV shows from childhood from right here in this blog post. Check it out:
