CT Biz Blogs

It’s been a busy week at CTBizBlog, mostly because I’ve been off-line. It’s been a strain, but I think I’ll survive.

But now I’m in San Jose, and I’ll be attending BlogHer 2006. This conference was started last year, partially in reaction to the scarcity of women bloggers at other blogging and geek get-togethers. Men are welcome, too.

I’ve been looking forward to this conference for months. I have a roommate, too, who I am looking forward to meeting — Liz Strauss of Successful Blog.

I’m not sure if I’ll “live blog,” actually typing my notes into a blog post and publishing while at sessions. For me, that takes concentration away from the speaker, as I try to compose in whole sentences so that my notes make some sort of sense to non-attendees. At some conferences bloggers just post their rough notes, scattering sentence fragments and obscure references with abandon, but as a reader, I find that less than helpful. I’m always skimming through those posts, and the parts that interest me usually happen to be the sections where the notes are the most cryptic and frustrating, so I never get much out of it.

Instead I’ll try short posts throughout Friday and Saturday, sharing things I think might be interesting to my readers.

What I might do is post about what sessions I plan on attending, and ask folks to leave comments if they have any questions they’d like me to ask at the session. That could be fun!

I’ll do that tonight when I get to the hotel — let’s give that a try and see how it goes.
