Coming back at 'cha with more video screen captchas, it's another roundup of the best of the good stuff here at Really, Really Good! Your favorite B-Boy blogger L. "Q.Rock639" Cue is hard at work, preparing another dose of hotness, so forgive me for the delay in posts. In the words of Rakim Allah, "It's been a long time ... I shouldn't have left you." With that said, on with the show!BlogWorld & New Media ExpoThe BC community is all abuzz over the upcoming BlogWorld & New Media Expo to be held in Las Vegas on November 8 and 9. The first-of-its-kind trade convention is shaping up to be a fun-filled time for bloggers, podcasters, computer geeks and those up on the sexy coolness of Internet tech. Blogcritics will be there in full force, as they have a booth directly across from the Yahoo booth! (Talk about competition!) In an attempt to bring a little flavor to the event, I have reached out to Eric Olsen, the publisher of BC, and Rick Calvert, the director of the expo. There are several names, acts, and companies that we are courting and hope to bring to the table, but I will avoid jinxing the deal by naming names. What I will do is give you a quick rundown of who will be present.The BlogWorld expo will attract personalities from all realms of the blogosphere, bringing some well known "web celebrities" out to Vegas. As I mentioned earlier, Yahoo will be on hand, as will Chris Ballard for Sports Illustrated, Leesa Barnes of Caprica Interactive Marketing, KCET's Hugh Hewitt, Arianna Huffington, editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, reps from the NFL, Google, BC's very own Eric Olsen, Jim Turner of One By One Media, and tons more!The expo may be slightly on the tech side. Trust me, if you don't understand what some of these subjects are about, this is the perfect chance to take a crash course and see what all the fuss about. Hell, million dollar corporations are jumping in on the bandwagon of bloggers for a reason. Hopefully we will have some more event announcements in the next week, so stay tuned. I heard a rumor that the new Will Smith movie will be premiered at the convention, with the Smith family in attendance, but don't quote me on that just yet! Besides, do you really need an excuse to go to Vegas? Just make sure you take Maggie Fox's advice, as she says at her Blog Social Media Group, "the whole 'What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas' thing ain’t true - so behave yourself!"
