BlogWorld Expo – Day 2
BWE09 is still in full swing as I write this. Day two opened up all the vendors and other exciting events.
Yesterday, Hugh Hewitt did his show live from BlogWorldExpo right next to the military lounge. During the first hour he featured Soldiers’ Angels and Greyhawk from Mudville Gazette. He talked about the upcoming Valour-IT that will raise money to purchase voice-activated laptop computers for wounded troops.
The Mudville Gazette was the first Milblog that Hugh ever read and talked about it on his website years ago, giving credibility and needed publicity to the blogging genre.
The Army is sponsoring a military lounge that is 20′x20′ and features refreshments, including coffee, peanuts, bagels, and danishes. They are also featuring their new website called Army Strong Stories. Real Soldiers from all different jobs and ranks within the Army blog at the site. We’ll be featuring the site in an upcoming You Served Radio Show. In the meantime, check out the site.
I had a chance to meet my favorite YouTube icon, Chad Vader. If you haven’t watched any of the videos, check out their channel. Yesterday, they did a world premier of the next episode. The cliffhanger leads to the series finale next month and features a fight to the death between Chad Vader and his new boss and former apprentice.
We’ve got some great video interviews that will be coming up shortly. I’ve been having connection issues, so will upload them when I get home.
