Revving Up the Blogher
Also congrats to Lisa, Elisa, Jory, and the entire Blogher team for scoring a front page profile in today's San Jose Mercury News.
The birth of BlogHer sheds some light into how women use technology differently. Last year, a group of female bloggers held a one-day conference; 300 people showed up. They created a Web page where they could meet and discuss issues. And now, the organization BlogHer.org has several conferences a year complete with corporate sponsors. The group launched an ad network recently for more than 30 parenting bloggers with advertisers such as Elexa by Trojan, Disney and Intuit.``BlogHer the conference became BlogHer the community and then BlogHer the business,'' said Elisa Camahort, BlogHer's co-founder and a former high-tech product manager.
BlogHer, based in Palo Alto, aims to be the Yellow Pages and TV Guide for female bloggers. While any woman can submit her blog, all blogs are reviewed before added to the community.
Nice recognition... right under the Grand Prix coverage on the front page.
