Fox News Coverage of BlogWorld

12 Nov, 2007 by User Image Rick In the News, Traditional Media meet New Media

First of all thanks to the folks at Fox and all the other MSM outlets who came out and covered the show. It was great to see our exhibitors and our industry get the recognition they deserved and to see the MSM understanding just how influential our industry is and the significance of this inaugural event.

This is actually pretty funny. First the Fox report filed on Thursday. and then this goof video that Smidgets did for us about a month ago. How did Curb know that was the angle the MSM would take?

On a serious note both videos show exactly what I have been preaching to veteran bloggers for a long time as big as this revolution is now it is just the beginning. Most people in the world have no idea what a blog is.

[…] dead and going nowhere should take a look at what is going on in Las Vegas this week. Besides the news coverage, just take a look at these statistics (yes bloggers love stats) or even the keynote speakers and […]

Awesome coverage. I can’t wait to see how big the event its next year. Just off us bloggers and attendees alone, the event is getting a ton of extra exposure.

Great first effort Rick but one correction. Fox News is not mainstream media.

Rick, Dave, volunteers and speakers,

I’m finally getting around to it, but I wanted to congratulate everyone who organized BlogWorld on putting on a great event. While Smidgit and Fox News coverage was entertaining this year, your efforts in getting blogging into the mainstream will help the general public (and businesses) see the power of the channel as an effective and immediate form of communication that can be used to inform and educate. I had a wonderful time this year and made a lot of valuable new friends and contacts. I can’t wait to attend next year.

Thanks again,

Wow, I’m sorry I missed this. I would have learned a lot more at your event than I did at the National Association of Realtors Convention that I attended in Vegas the week after. Sign me up for next year!
