Thanks for these updates Joe. Having done NewComm in Vegas I have to be a litte choosy about what conferences to attend so your updates are very useful. Do you know if there is a conference coming up on mobile content, hopefully with social media also included? I didn’t make ICE in T.O. but am reading your post…
Thanks. Robin.

Stealing all my best lines there, Ed?

I’d love to wake up every morning and find I’ve made $X in advertising etc while sleeping, but that never has been the point of my blogging. Blogging promotes me and my company (which is primarily me), and the opportunities it presents are worth more than a few bucks.
Through blogging I was offered two book contracts (40% of the panel is featured in my latest), I’ve sold speeches, consulting and more. And this happened while I was having fun, and blogging is fun to many people, just as some other professional pursuits may be.

I have no problem with monetization, and am even slowing starting to sell a few things directly (e.g. “click here to buy”) from my blog.

er…Joe, the eighties called. They want their picture of Michael back.

Sounds like a good session though,
