I recently attended “Blog Philadelphia”, a 2 day “un-conference” in Center City Philly. 200 bloggers, Videographers, online journalists and photogs. Smart minds. Great food. And it was FREE. Annie Heckenberger of Greater Philadelphia Tourism deserves alot of credit for such a successful event.

One awkward point tho….With Blogging becoming a part of everyday media, (leveraging the “personal media revolution”)…. it was surprising that I didn’t see more participation from MSM; mainstream media ( TV, Radio and Print ). Oh that’s right, Blogging is amateur journalism. My bad.   http://www.blogphiladelphia.net/

    Hey Mel: Glad you were a part of BlogPhiladelphia and I had the opportunity to meet you and chat. I was also surprised that more mainstream media weren’t there but I guess everyone is still figuring out the pieces to the puzzle. Happy to hear you found the event of value and thank you for the props!
