A few notes

So now that the dust is settling from the BlogWorld / Vegas trip, I’ll sprinkle in a few little bits that I have highlighted here in notes.  One curious
company we ran across was the expo’s media sponosor, a magazine called Blogger and Podcasting.

If you recognize the same kind of ironies that roughly 98.6% of the conference attendees noticed, you will chuckle and say to yourself, "Interesting.  A print magazine dedicated to an industry whose sole purpose is to put print magazines out of business."  Or, you might be less generous and say something far more disparaging or mean.  Even the conference panelists on VC funding made special note, commenting on how they would pass on any deal that involved a magazine about blogging.

Is this newsworthy from a "Bubble Watch" standpoint? It certainly shows that there are market inconsistencies.  And it probably wouldn’t be too problematic, if it wasn’t coupled with the fact that Exhibitor booths at BlogWorld were peppered with Booth Babes.  I think this shocked me more than anything, because I can’t think of a group of people that would be less impressed, and dare I say possibly intimidated and annoyed, by scantily clad models who have no idea what they are talking about.  When BlogWorld starts taking on a Comdex feel, something seems off-base.
