So many blogs, so little time. Talk about 52 card pickup-I must’ve gathered at least that many business/blog cards and have only scratched the surface trying to check out the new blogs!

On any given day, while clicking through my blogroll, I can find posts that are sexy, funny, educational, sad, or conversational. I love the diversity of the blogosphere. I think I would have enjoyed BlogHer. I may have to consider attending next year. That’s what I love about the blogging community.

I found it mindblowing as a first time attendee. But I wish I had gone to the State of the Mommosphere BUT I wanted to attend two other presentations at the same time - GAH - it was so hard to decide but I did get a lot from the ones I bounced between.

I am leap frogging from one wrap up post to the next, and thinking over and over, where was this person? Where was I? I think I lost valuable networking time by being hungover all day Friday. Lesson learned. I'm so sorry I missed you. Same time, next year? k I would like to have a separate conference of all the bloghers I somehow did not get to meet at all or chat nearly enough with.

I am so glad that we got to meet (and sorry that pizza night got a little out of hand). I'll just have to settle for going back to spending time with you online.

It was so nice to meet you - even though we shared only a few words waiting for a shuttle, or cab - I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on the conference, as well. See ya.

I'd love to see you take your twitter stuff and any other notes and do a post about each session, what you learned, links to examples, etc. From the little bit that I participated via Second Life, I was quite intrigued to see there be a distinction between Mommy Bloggers and not. I can see where it can be looked down upon to be "just a mommy blogger" (much like "just a mom") and yet, I think blogging is one of the best tools yet for mommies! This is the first blog I've commented on and yet I've felt like I've been supported so much simply by reading mommy blogs -- knowing that my kids aren't the only ones that pile everything up, drive me crazy, etc. I think a spinoff Mommy BlogHer event, much like the business bloggers one, would be fantastic b/c I was frustrated that some of the sessions that would've applied very well to the momosphere steered away into much different areas, i.e. the privacy session. BTW, having Second Life as an option was terrific! Not as good as being there, but certainly better than nothing! Please don’t shut up about BlogHer, I’d like MORE!
