Meeting Famous Bloggers
I’m in Las Vegas for BlogWorld. First, BlogWorld is a success. At first I had my doubt that a bunch of bloggers blogging while other people talk could prove horribly boring. But as things got going it actually rocks. Dave Taylor, great work, and is there any way to get more plugs (the rooms have about 4 and they are gone in minutes)?
My favorites included Justine, who lifecasts, and the polar opposite Rebecca Weeks who is with Real Girls Network. Leo LaPorte rocked and I’m looking forward to hearing Mark Cuban.
The tradeshow part was fun too – just to see the innovation. I have a t-shirt for everyone from every new blogging startup there is (and there are a lot here).
Leo LaPorte talked about how we all have different personas in the world. Sometimes it gets schizo and that pretty much defines how it feels to meet all sorts of bloggers that I follow on Twitter, work with, and read about. If you’re online you can add a few more personalities to the mix.
Blogging has developed two personas for me quite well. One persona is very shy, HATES being in the spotlight and wants to write. This persona is driving me nuts because I used to be really social but now I’m thinking about what I might write or how I need to write. My head comes out through my fingers and when I’m in that mode I don’t talk as well. Is this ADD that both don’t seem to integrate well together??
The other persona is the businesswoman persona, which I’m losing touch with. She is a networker and loves connecting people and ideas. She would love to see and be seen at every social event and then report on it. Also, she loves to interview people and see how they tick.
My battery is running low…see my twitter updates for more…

Go to Fry’s (on the strip, but way far south) and get yourself a power strip. You’ll be the hero of the room tomorrow by opening up six outlets from one.

Doesn’t that happen everytime you look in the mirror?
