Technorati CEO Richard Jalichandra will deliver his annual State of the Blogosphere address tomorrow morning at Blog World & New Media Expo in Las Vegas. The speech is essentially the blog search engine’s public opportunity to unveil results from a fairly far-reaching survey they conduct with bloggers each year. The stats are interesting and there’s always an insight or two that make the speech worth watching.

One of, if not the, best conferences for social media types on the planet is Blog World & New Media Expo. Rick Calvert and crew have consistently put on a great show with interesting speakers, engaging topics and ample opportunity to network and cross over your connections into industries you never thought possible. (I know several military bloggers. Who’d a thunk it?)

This year’s event is October 15-17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the lineup (to be announced soon) is going to help make the event bigger and better than ever before. Last year, I presented several topics as a speaker at Blog World. This year, I wanted to be more involved — if that’s humanly possible. It is.

AllVoices.com Offers Community Of Citizen Journalists

by Jason Falls · September 21, 2008

I was able to catch up with Kathy Jacobs of AllVoices.com at Blog World Expo Saturday. She is the community guru for the site, which is a news content effort totally driven by user submitted news — a citizen journalism lab of sorts.

Blog World Expo Friday: Planning & Payoff

by Jason Falls · November 9, 2007

Brogan and Owyang Orchestrate GeniusI would have thought it difficult to overshadow my excitement for my afternoon session at Blog World Expo on Friday. I’ve been looking forward to the social media strategy session featuring Jeremiah Owyang and Chris Brogan for a month. But my morning session and afternoon keynote bookended probably the coolest conference day I’ve ever experienced. From getting the scoop on blog analytics to listening to Mark Cuban talk about his experience blogging (not included in my recap, but available on other folk’s blogs), I had a blast, learned a lot and networked a lot more.

Blog World Expo Thursday: Learning, Laughter

by Jason Falls · November 8, 2007

If you look at my “8 Things” post about conferences from last month, you can probably ascertain my cautious optimism on what might be day one (for me) of Blog World Expo. It’s not that I have some arrogance about conference speakers, I just have a hard time computing the fact I want advanced topic information while some sessions are designed for the novice.

5 Reasons I Won’t Be Live Blogging

by Jason Falls · November 6, 2007

Live Blog Logo from Ross MatthewsAs I pack and prepare for Blog World Expo I get excited about the possibilities the three days in Vegas will present. Not only will I be networking with some folks I’ve been anxious to meet, but I’ll get to hang out and spend more time with two guys who have become increasingly important to me as colleagues and friends, Todd Earwood and Rob May.

When I sat down Monday night to think about some goals and objectives for the week, I thought about the possibility of live blogging a bit. Fortunately, I have a little gnome inside my head named Reality who sufficiently beat me about the head and face.
