I spoke today at the Future of Publishing. Was on a panel with people I both knew and did not know: Kris Krug, Ben Garfinkel, Janet Johnson, and Eric Karjaluoto.

I spoke about my path to professional blogging and what I am doing now. I talked on the changing dynamic in business communications and the role of blogging in dialogue. Of course, I believe strongly that being a part of the conversation in blogging is no longer a choice but a necessity. I spoke of the passion of self publishing that drives me to do what I do and to really enjoy it. I also gave a brief demo of Qumana, which some readers might have caught in the RSS feed before it was deleted.

As promised to many in the audience, here are my subscriptions. They are a good place for many to start in on a ton of topics - all organized into easy folders.

The Q/A period was really great. Was a change to chime in with the other speakers on a whole bunch of really great issues such as the role of blogs in publishing, what to do with massive amounts of content, how to manage negative commentary and more.

Thanks to all who came today and especially to those who posed some great questions. Would be happy to elaborate more on any topic, openly or via email. Leave comments and I’ll respond as well.

If you want to contact me to be on a panel or to speak at any conference, please email me.
