Blog

Met some fine folks at Blogphiladelphia. This is just a small sample. There are many, many, many, many, many more.

This is Josh Hallett, who insisted upon NOT being called the “godfather of the unconference,” though I think he got that title because out of all of us there, he was the most unconferenced. Led a great panel on best practices for PR folks pitching bloggers.

I didn’t actually meet Annie Heckenberger, but she’s the reason this all happened.

Jillian Ashley Blair Ivey (call her Jill) liveblogged the whole thing for Phillyist.

Chris O’Donnell (who, according to his card, is “not the actor”) works for TechDirt, who gets corporations to pay bloggers mad dough for answers to their questions.

Valeria Maltoni ran the Open Source Marketing session and proved to be one of the smartest people in a room full of very smart people.

Vince Veneziani is an associate editor with CrunchGear, technically the competition, but we got along just fine.

Caroline Bean, GPTMC Media Relations, took time out from helping to run the thing to attend a session or two.

Philebrity editor & co-founder Joey Sweeney led the City Blogs session.

Colin Devroe evangelizes for a video player that’s so bad-ass it’s going to take a whole ‘nuther post just to explain it.

Earthlink’s Dave Coustan gives corporate blogging a good name. He also has the coolest title on his business card: “Blog Master”

Scott McNulty led two sessions and is just an all-around cool guy. Find him here, here, here or here.

Alex Hillman, the man with the mic, is simply The Man. He helped organize this - and about twenty other cool goings-on in Philly. I’ll let his blog speak for itself.

Hey, you! Pay attention!
