At CES as a Reporter (OK, a Blogger)

This is the year that Blog Business Summit people to "vet" the bloggers to make sure that they had not just started a blog a couple days prior to get a blogger pass. Yes, there is that issue - and one that tradeshow organizers need to seriously address - and CES has been smart about it; except a complaint from the PR person side - unless you know the bloggers (and, it's my job) - it was hard to know who was and was not a blogger. But, it is still the embracing of the citizen journalist, new media journalist, social media - whatever name you want it, it is exploding. For work - disclosure, I work - I was reaching out to bloggers that I think would care to come to a lunch, and that it was, yes, bloggable and podcastable. As Andy Abramson http://www.lunchat.com/. I got my tickets for L@P, but Podtech has its Blog Business Summit has its Teresa again at CES. :)
