An Editor's Saturday at Blog World 2009

With a coffee cup in one hand and a laptop in the other, I could hear the bloggers. They were close, but the Las Vegas Convention Center is giant and I was lost. This was not the first escalator I went up thinking I knew where I was going.

Bloggers! I guess this shouldn't have been as surprising as it was, but it was just really funny and a little unnerving to see so many, so close and so quiet. I was really happy to finally see them though, and could not wait to make it to our Demand Studios booth.

Let the games begin!

The main room was much louder than the blogger hallway.

Studio editors helped out by explaining what Demand Studio is from an editorial perspective.

Lights, camera, action! Yury works to explain what Demand Studios is to people that are unfamiliar with the site. There were a lot of questions, but the positive response from almost everyone we spoke with made the day that much more exciting.

5:30pm marked the end of Blog World 2009 and my bones were ready for a break. We received a lot of good feedback and great ideas from an diverse group of bloggers. It was great to have the opportunity to talk with writers face-to-face and share what we do.

After spending the day here, I feel so confident in what were are doing. I know everyone that is a part of the Studio is focused on quality, but it was really encouraging to see that the individuals in attendance of this convention were too. It was also a great reminder that new media is a world unknown to most of us. Everything we do and every step we take is the first of its kind and everyone right now is in the process of trying to figure it out. This conference really got me excited about what is to come. Did you know that they have these little devices now that all you have to do is touch yours with someone else's electronic device and all of your social media information is swapped? I am kicking myself right now for forgetting the name (I will get that for all of you ASAP), but check it out. If anyone knows what these things are called, please let me know. See image below.

Until next time... happy writing.

I'm so happy you were able to come to BWE and enjoy some good bloggy hospitality! Let's hope this is an annual event. You were very well received. I'll be doing a round up of BlogWorld posts from blogs around the net for the BlogWorld blog and won't forget to include this one!
