The BlogWorld Expo has ended, and most of its participants have found their way home from Las Vegas. Now, for those who either didn't make it to the city or had so much fun that the details are a little hazy, we'll try to sum up some of the conference's main points.
One of the gathering’s central themes – the idea that social media is becoming both popular and omnipresent – is somewhat supported by the meeting’s tagline “world’s largest blogging and new media conference.” Don Crowther added his voice to the mix by giving tips about using social media to drive traffic. A report on “blogging as a business, and Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV emphasized personal relationships and connections, and his success has landed him on television with Conan O’Brien and Ellen Degeneres. Another speaker, PR departments should treat bloggers, integrating establishing brands, too. A random, if interesting, fact: Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park was actually a keynote speaker in that last little presentation.
Finally, we couldn't wrap up this summary without mentioning Twitter, one of social media's newer members and a big topic of discussion at BlogWorld. microjournalism. Plenty of people even reversed the situation by using Twitter to talk about BlogWorld.
It was a fast-paced conference, all in all. Lucky for social media fans, not every bit of information that was exchanged in Las Vegas stayed there.
