FYI - I’m live-Twittering from Chicago today at the Poynter Institute conference on “Diversity in the Digital Age.” It’s a small gathering of journalists and we’re discussing the role that diversity plays in online or new media.

Speaking of which, a friend of mine is running the largest Bloggers/Online Community convention in the US. It’s called Blog World Expo — http://www.blogworldexpo.com
last year they had everyone from mark Cuban to Arianna Huffington to Twitter there.
This year it’s September 20-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Vegas, NV.
They’re tying to get more participation from ethnic bloggers and online groups.
We need to be there–as many of us as possible. it’s a huge opportunity to spread th eword about what we’re all doing.
So visit the site and sign up!
Twitter is off the hook; I remember early on they didnt think twitter was going to make it… now its strong.
