I'm back from a 1 week break and The Daily Feed will no resume it's regularly scheduled programming. My apologies for the brief interruption.
This weekend the Blog World Expo was held in the Mandalay Bay convention center in Vegas. I didn't go. I did consider going but I had a few objections.
The price was almost $1200 to attend and and wandering among expo booths gathering data I can get online and seeing panel bloggers repeat in person what they've already written just doesn't give me a return on that investment. If these photos are anything to go by, attendance was sparse and the atmosphere wasn't a rock concert. Here are a couple more blog entries covering the conference.
Now that blogging is main-stream I expect to see more vertical conferences that bring together writers that cover the similar subjects, target similar audiences or have similar writing styles. I also expect to see less differentiation between journalists and bloggers. Being a "blogger" really means being a writer because every writer worth their salt blogs.
Speaking of rants, there's a thread on Webmasterworld today discussing how links have become currency to most bloggers and webmasters which makes it very hard to get a few quality links to your site, even when you have a really great site or product. I'm not sure I completely agree with the author's complaint - we regularly link to quality websites or products and I encourage you to do the same.
On a literary note, it looks like Twighlight has now spawned so many copycat books that Barnes and Noble have given them their own section.
