Blogger Forum
On Tuesday November 11th from 6-8 pm, Povo hosted its first blogger forum at the Archstone Boston on Washington Street in Chinatown. The panel, moderated by Sam Baltrusis of Loaded Gun, included:
The well attended event turned out a crowd of around 50 enthusiasts who were able to enjoy the lively panel discussion with topics ranging from how best to monetize your blog, search engine optimization, local wikis, twittering and on-line journalism. The panel lasted over an hour followed by a meet-and-greet social where food and drinks were served. It was a great evening for the local Boston "blog-o-sphere" to come together and put faces to names and a great excuse for everyone to get out from behind their computers for the evening! Below are a few sounds bites from the participating writers that were kind enough to sit on our panel. They all found their way into blogging through different avenues, so click on the videos below to hear their stories.
