Gearing Up for Webcom-Montreal

While my French is indeed horrible, I'm going to unleash it in on all of you poor chaps in Montreal tomorrow.  I'm speaking at Webcom-Montreal and I could not be more excited.  I've never been Canada before and I've been told by all my friends that Montreal is absolutely gorgeous, eh.

I'm hoping to meet some of my Canadian friends while there.  Ben Yoskovitz has promised to show me around, and I'm sure I'll spend some time with friends Teresa, Debbie and the other speakers (including Thomas Vander Wal) as well.  I am also set to do an interview with the voice of Blognation Canada, Tris Hussey.

Are you a Canadian blogger?  If so, give me a call so we can meet up.  408-718-0886

I was so excited to meet so many of you this week at BlogWorld.  While I spent only a few hours in our booth (which was highly rated), I was able to meet other Community Managers at Yahoo!, tons of bloggers, speak at one session, and really enjoy the Vegas nightlife.

I did a little wrap up on my personal blog, but I wanted to make sure you saw these items from that post:

1. I got to give the Weblog Award for Best Podcast to Leo Laporte.  He mentioned to me that he was a fan of MyBlogLog.  I visibly swooned.
2. Also, I had some fun with the BlogCatalog guys, but they were very cool about it.  They really were good sports.

As you can tell I spent the whole week just enjoying the heck out of the different parts of the blogosphere that were represented.  I still can't believe they pay me to do this!  Suckers...

See you at the Blog Business Summit?

If you're on the fence about attending the Blog Business Summit in Chicago (September 17 - 19), here's another reason to get you there. As a sponsor, we're able to offer a discount to anyone that registers via our sponsor page.

UPDATE: Please use the discount code P56CHI at checkout to apply the $100 discount.

If you're blogging for your company or thinking about doing so, this is a great conference. Share tips, tricks, and best practices. Maybe this will be the year we finally nail the way to define that ever-evasive metric, engagement.

LeWeb3, formerly known as LesBlogs

I'm goin' to Paris in 6 weeks! Loic posted the program for LeWeb3. I made the first panel, which is right after Mike's opening keynote:

Bridging the conversation: how are the tools evolving ?

David Fischer - MySpace.com - UK

Andrew Anker - Vox / Six Apart - USA *

Dave Sifry - Technorati - USA *

Oleg Tscheltzoff - CitizenBay USA *

Scott Rafer - MyBlogLog - USA *

I went to LesBlogs2 last year, and it was well worth the trip. Show up if you can; lots of great people already are. The evening before the conference starts (10 Dec 2006), I'll find a bar in the 2nd, 8th, or 9th arrondissements to have a MyBlogLog meetup. Location suggestions welcome.

I'll do the same in London the evening of 13 Dec 2006, probably near Piccaddily unless someone has a better idea.
