If you head over to Blogswithballs.com you’ll find a couple new things. First the site has been redesigned to promote the upcoming 2.0 conference to be held in Las Vegas, October 15-16. as part of the broader Blogwold Conference. I blogged about this before, but this is a huge step up from years past as the sports blog track of this conference has been a little lackluster.
Another thing you’ll notice the hilight video of Blogs Witb Balls 1.0 with some NSFW but hilarious thoughts on 2.0 from EDSBS’ Spencer Hall who could have been voted, Best Sense of Humor, at BWB 1.0.
As you can tell from my previous writeup, I am a huge fan of BWB and think the timing for these events are spot on as this quaint but up and coming industry seems to have found its stride in terms of economic viability and mainstream traction of late.
Myself and the Bloguin crew will be in full effect at 2.0 and you can rest assured that a lot of bloggers will see the dual value in going to a conference to learn and network in addition to the normal Vegas debauchery that is appealing. The fact its over a weekend during football season also has a lot of appeal for those are inclined to place some wagers on NFL games.
Kudos to Don, Chris, and Kyle (guys from HHR media) for bringing together a very fragmented group of terrific people and getting the foot down on the accelator after a great initial invent. Below is my interview with co-founder of BWB Kyle bunch after stalking him down at the airport and enticing him to an interview with a ride to his hotel.
