blogging from blogworld

Blogworld has been good so far. The event is very well organized and there are a few thousand folks here, including a pretty solid Boulder contingent. Not surprising given how many blog/web 2.0/social media companies are based there…

A few quick hits:

  • I (Ari) was on on a panel this morning with Howard Kaushansky from Umbria Communications and Robin Seidner from Collective Intellect. Topic was “Tracking Reputation in the Blogosphere”. What made the session interesting was the engagement from the audience and the dialog. There was good conversation between the panel and the audience as well as audience to audience.
  • David Cohen mentions many of the Boulder-based companies over at Coloradostartups.com
  • While this isn’t Filtrbox related in the least, I ran into “iJustine” today. I’ve followed her on twitter for awhile, so it was pretty cool to meet her ITF.
  • Best meeting so far was a 60 second conversation over the lunch table with Jeff Yolen of Sphere. I hadn’t met him before, and we just-so-happened to sit accross from each other at a table. A quick question turned into a rapid fire conversation that covered more ground in a minute than most hour long biz dev meetings do! Nice…
  • Ran into Leo Laporte, nice to put a face to a name after listening to TwiT for so long.
  • Oh, and Dave Taylor was wearing a sportcoat, this is a sighting on par with seeing the loch ness monster. Forgot to grab a picture however.
