This year, we made our annual pilgrimage to BlogWorld, an event I've come to look forward to every year (I can say that now, having been there... twice). I thought I'd answer the above question for those of you who attended and were unable to listen to me gab after having asked us what we were doing in the L.A. Convention Center. Besides sporadic dance parties, we make the annual trip to BlogWorld to learn like the rest of you, but also to educate. There are a lot of things we know we do well as a Company blog, but we rarely know it all (except me, of course). And every year, each one of us learns something new that we immediately put into practice, whether it's from a session, a conversation, or eavesdropping on a group that is using our charging stations (yes, it's happened).
Like SxSW in Austin, I enjoy the allure of wandering around examining those who are new to the game. Several of our booth neighbors fit into this category, and each of them showed great promise (and I'm rooting for them to stick around).
But interestingly enough, perhaps the biggest reason we were at BlogWorld? So we could meet people wondering, "Why," and explain to them why we were there.
And if that's a cop out, at least our metallic blue carpet was a strong choice.
I hope you had fun at our booth-- we sure did. Props to several members of our Team for taking it to the streets (or expo aisles, as it were), and proactively engaging the BlogWorld user base. We had several fun events you're going to hear about involving our great DishTrip friends, and conference-goers who helped create great content. That is, after all, one of the main focuses of BlogWorld!
