The media start to pick up on the blogging conference

Posted by Mick (SplaTT) Stanic under: Aus Blogging Conference; Digital Thoughts .

Its been one of those days…first I find out i’m on a BBC show about blogging (well…G’day World is..its just my voice) , and then i get a call from Simon Sharwood, a journalist with ZDNET Australia, who wants to talk to me about the 2005 Australian Blogging Conference…i’m turning into a media whore… ;)

Heres a link to the article over at ZDNET…and they got most of it right….the sociopolitical and educational bloggers are more than welcome…but the focus wll be on how to use this “blog stuff” for a corporate type channel. I wouldn’t want to suggest that the market is big enough in Australia to warrant mutiple blogging conferences aimed at niche markets…maybe next year though :)

And this line is not exactly true…”Stanic recently resigned from his job to organise the conference”…though i will be spending a large chunk of the next two months worrying myself to death over it while trying to find work for my new venture. And it does feel strange reading “..Mick Stanic, a former executive producer with the Singleton Ogilvy advertising agency..” when i don’t actually finish up till this Thursday afternoon…I’m sure it will feel strange then too. Anyway…bring in the media coverage…the more the better…

Oh yeah..in reference to the last line of the story…that was going to be a piece of news for after the blogging conference, but i figured this was a good a way as anyway to tell people my future thoughts and to build up some early interest. So…if you are interested in helping fix what i feel is a problem that needs to be addressed, feel free to email me at splatt[at]splatt.com.au and lets have a chat.
