Join Me in Snarkville

This is not a good day to die. Morbid, I know, but completely the way I feel today. While death’s sweet kiss may be welcomed by me shortly, I would hate for this to be my very last day on the planet.

But we are going to attempt to focus on the fun and promising and the FREE, because it has been one of THOSE days and I’m 90 seconds from crawling into bed and pretending Monday didn’t happen.

This is, I promise, the last of the BlogHer posts. I may clean up a few of the back ones — but I PROMISE, I’m done now. I’m ready to move on to real life and the here the now and the fact that this week bites big.

Business Blog Case Studies: Yvonne DiVita, Susan Getgood & Toby Bloomberg lead a rap session with you, the BlogHers, about what worked (and what didn’t) when implementing blogs for business.

Session Notes:

Please note that I am typing during this session. I expect a blanket forgiveness on any spelling, grammar, or nonsense mistakes. I may come back and clean this up and add any content in the “post production” of this entry. If I have anything to say that isn’t part of the
live-blogging itself (read: my personal running commentary), I will note it by the italics.

The BlogHer staff requested that today’s presentations not have powerpoints, so I will do my best to share what is going on, but I should let you know that there is a podcast of every session so if you want the details, I’d go to the powerpoint.

Tagging, tracking & structured blogging:

What this session is supposed to be about:

Do taxonomies & folksonomies fill you with ennui? Charlene Li & Marnie Webb will help you discover why you care & how it gives you an edge.

Audio/Podcasting

What this session is going to be about:

Instructors will be on hand to serve all user levels. Beginners will create & post an audio entry with Susan Kitchens. Advanced users will get hands-on instruction and interactive Q&A about advanced techniques, plus best practices in promotion and distribution from Nicole Simon and Anita Campbell.

Ok, I just found out that they are going to be spliting the group up into parts, so I’m going to do my best to follow one group in each of the repeats, so here goes nothing.

This is a live post. Forgive the lack of summary at the top of this one — call me unpreped, but we will all live, right? There are bunches of live-bloggers doing this, so I’m sure someone will do the formal summary thingie.

See: I’ve got it now:

Let’s get this whole thing started. (more…)

Ok, folks, this is a break from your normal bit of snark and joys of my overheated life. However, I want everyone who reads me to understand the flurry of the upcoming posts. I’m at BlogHer, and in order for me to be able to come, I must work! So, I’ve offered up my services to live blog — read post during sessions about the sessions for those millions of fans who can’t make it to BlogHer.

So, as a result there will be little snark, probably more mistakes and less humor in the next two days worth of posts. I promise to return to my normal insane self soon enough and I will be thrilled to tell you all about it.
