The Blog's the Thing...even when it's not the thing I am working on
Bummer to see Dare go "unblogged". I respect his decision, but hope he will be back. He was an interesting voice, to say the least. I fielded some questions recently about blogging and engaging an audience from a coworker in another team this week, and Read More...
Tim O’Reilly’s Blogging Code of Conduct and Kathy Sierra
Blogging code of conduct goes over like lead balloon, podcast at 11. Ugh, I guess I should have seen that coming – both Tim O’Reilly’s kindhearted suggestion and the weird backlash of the anti-badges badges. (We don't need no steenkin'...) Though the Read More...
Blogging vs. Journalism or Blogging and Journalism
I was derailed from writing this post after SxSW by the Kathy Sierra stuff, but this post of Doc Searls reminded me I still needed to say something on the score of blogging and journalism. I respect what he is saying, I'm just going off on my own tangent Read More...
Death threats and blogging and being female

99% inspiration, 1% perspiration

Free Live QnA t-shirts to the quizzical and answer-generous; also... Ignite Seattle!

Taste of the blog summit
Mostly, the summit tasted like coffee and tiramisu. No, really. The morning sessions - which were all I got to see after a work issue on QnA called me back to the office - were all trying to wake up and get coffee in the veins. Then it was work work work Read More...
Making the blogosphere fizz a bit, or, Betsy's Blogger bath bombs (tm)
So, I'm going to the Blog Business Summit. I'm really excited as mentioned before. First of all, when I do panel presentations, I tend not to have the same queasy sensations I do when I have to speak on my own. Co-presenting is the same way; I really Read More...
Betsy at the Blog Business Summit!
They've got a stellar lineup at the Blog Business Summit in Seattle at the Bell Harbor Conference Center this year, and I'm tickled pink to be part of it for these panel sessions: Oct 26 11:30 Building Communities online 3:15 - Corporate blogging policy Read More...
