redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:24:25):
Yeah, I'm already too much of a hermit as it is!
Petite_Isla says to  (2005-7-30 15:24:41):
this can become addicting
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:24:43):
If I'm not careful, I'll lose what little social skills I have!
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:24:51):
It is, Petite!
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:25:9):
The United States  has the greatest population movement of any non-Nomaidc society. Our sense of neighborhood is no longer literal.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:25:19):
Aliza, are you willing to write about a blogger trying to get her green card?
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:25:27):
We move more than any other group.

Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:25:41):
Blogging allows us to feel connected.
Petite_Isla says to  (2005-7-30 15:25:41):
and yet it doesn't seem like we do
Petite_Isla says to  (2005-7-30 15:25:44):
interesting
goldy36 says to  (2005-7-30 15:25:57):
I have becoem a real hermit since I got online. I order most of my shopping online and Christmas shopping is a few clicks of my mouse now. Some days I have to really force myslef to go out and talk to people.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:26:0):
Wow, that's true, isn't it? About the moving.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:26:9):
Growing up in the 1950's we knew our neighbors names. No longer the case.
alizasherman says to  (2005-7-30 15:26:12):
red - I'm basically mentioning certain blogs as examples of different things like health, art, business, etc. - and then quoting other bloggers about how blogging has changed their lives or why they like to blog.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:26:22):
Me too, goldy. So in that respect it's not a good thing!
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:26:25):
Aliza...can't find that blog right now.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:27:0):
People are mobil because they can be. The mobil phone increase that capability. The iPod and the blog and the GPS in the car. These are prosthetics of our being.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:27:7):
If you are in need of another cool art blog, here's one: http:unkemptwomen.blogspot.com She's amazing!
dar says to  (2005-7-30 15:27:17):
I know my neighbors names.. and what they do.  but we seldom speak to each other.
alizasherman says to  (2005-7-30 15:27:26):
michele - if you do, could you drop me an email at mediaegg AT hotmail DOT com?
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:27:33):
Yeah, it's sad, Dar, isn't it?
goldy36 says to  (2005-7-30 15:27:42):
Yet, I have made some fantastic friends online, and I have connected to kindred spirits and fascinatign people that I probably would never have met. I also have a global business from my home office
Petite_Isla says to  (2005-7-30 15:27:51):
the strange part is that although we may not get out as much we communicate with more people
dar says to  (2005-7-30 15:28:4):
and I can sit here and feel so alone.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:28:6):
I know my neighbors names too -- I hear them yelling "Hey Stupid." I know what they do, tooo. Listen to loud music at all times of the night. LOL

I need to get some real work done.  I've been waiting for the live blogs from the Fund, Build and Sell things panel, and nobody is posting anything...
laura says (2005-7-30 15:34:5):
In terms of women's rights? In terms of small businesses reaching larger markets?
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:34:30):
globalization in terms of markets and women's rights?
*** (2005-7-30 15:34:48):dar quit the room
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:34:52):
Yeah, women's rights especially.

Business as it gets more virtual (and blogging being part of that) might lead to a more equal playing field

laura says (2005-7-30 15:38:2):
Here's maybe why we've not heard from many people at the conf lately:
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:38:6):
I sell gift items and books about the Marine Life Sanctuaries in California. The items have original watercolors of different scenes like Natural Bridges, SC, CA
laura says (2005-7-30 15:38:7):
"The wireless network in the techmart has been completed overloaded.  I have tons of interviews and great photos to post, but can't get a connection.   I'm using the Google sponsored internet hookup now and hope to figure out a way around this problem."
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:38:18):
Wow, that sounds cool, Michele!
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:38:33):
Aha, that explains it!
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:39:5):
Smashed the exchange as they used to say in the phone business
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:39:7):
It would be if I made more money! LOL! But it is fun.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:39:10):
Hey, you should maybe try and distribute your books to Aquariums?
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:39:23):
Like here to the National Aquarium in Baltimore.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:39:50):
Balt-e-mur, eh?
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:39:55):
There is a local online company called CafePress.com that if you have a saying or an image you can build a store for free with them and sell products on demand.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:39:58):
Yeah, hon!
*** (2005-7-30 15:40:4):Welcome to BlogHer Conference Chat , wirelessink !
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:40:21):
That's cool, Michele, because I make African beaded stuff and I want to start selling it.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:40:27):
Hi there Wireless!
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 15:40:33):
hi
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:40:35):
hi wireless

redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:40:40):
I'm NOT a business woman though!
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:40:48):
That wouldn't work in there store. It has to be 2-D.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:41:0):
Oh, okay. Cool. thanks.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:41:16):
What a conference.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:41:20):
!!!
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:41:21):
I am an artist and a poet. I taught school. I had to learn about business. It is a life long learning process.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:41:23):
Hey Karen, you were saying earlier about leveling the playing field
laura says (2005-7-30 15:41:29):
eBay and Yahoo have ways to set up online stores
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:41:31):
in business
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:41:47):
Well, if they don't know for sure we're women, we can do business more easily.
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 15:41:52):
just curious. is there one room for the conference or separate rooms for each session?
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:42:10):
This is the virtual area
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:42:10):
Michele, I bet it is. Especially for us artistic types who might not be as business savvy.
*** (2005-7-30 15:42:12):Live Bloghers! http://www.blogher.org/2005/07/track_blogher_l.html
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:42:14):
Laura, do you know about Yahoo's store? I haven't checked it out but it has a price. So does eBay. I had a store with them but it didn't work out.
laura says (2005-7-30 15:42:39):
yeah
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:42:41):
We are not at the conference and are staying on the topics via blog/chat
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:42:49):
Well, we are S
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:42:57):
SORT OF staying on the topics, ha ha.
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:43:22):
Red, I get lost a lot in business, but I find it is the friendiest place. Here is my website link...www.starbellenterprises.com if you want to check it out.
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:43:45):
ON the left is the link to the store. I am in the process of redesigning my website right now.
*** (2005-7-30 15:43:53):Welcome to BlogHer Conference Chat , Petite_Isla !
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:43:53):
Thanks, Mich. Just wrote it down.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:44:3):
Business is just beginning to understand the benefir of blogging
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:44:3):
Hi again Petite!
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:44:25):
Yes, and making their sites more interactive.
Petite_Isla says to  (2005-7-30 15:44:28):
grrr!  thanks
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:44:29):
Like our politcians who are in the business of being political people.
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:44:33):
The INternet has been the most helpful place I have run into in finding out about business. I also attend live conferences when they come to town ...the ones on the internet.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:44:51):
Oh, that's awesome.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:45:19):
So people online are generally helpful, do you find?
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:45:29):
Marketing online is totally different than marketing in realtime. But I want to get back to selling my goods in real stores, too.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:45:31):
Interactivity is where blogs are going - not all one-way --> message out
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:45:34):
When it comes to giving out business advice?
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:45:59):
The INternet is the best.
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:46:24):
It mostly has been free.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:46:42):
Yes, and that's key when one starts out in a bus. venture.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:46:44):
Brand loyalty is more than repeat customers. It means a sense of belonging to a community of people who support the "brand"
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:47:3):
Yep.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:47:47):
Which, in many ways, is worth more than advertising! I think that's the sort of loyalty that every business and brand should strive for.
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:48:8):
Internet marketers have helped the INternet grow and business grow and shared their knowledge so freely it was a feast! Because what did they know? They are on fire.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:48:30):
A word of mouth recommendation (or damnation) is worth ten ad placements, maybe far more.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:48:41):
Absolutely.
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:48:58):
Let me take a few minutes to look up some sites for you.
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 15:49:0):
yes. just like the hip hop  artist have learned to mobilize street teams to promote and build their "brands" - business and political parties can learn from that...
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:49:27):
street teams -- ????
Petite_Isla says to  (2005-7-30 15:49:33):
bbl
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:49:34):
Really, Wireless? That's cool! I haven't heard about that yet. Like dancers?
*** (2005-7-30 15:49:41):Petite_Isla quit the room
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 15:50:0):
people who support the brand and spread the word to thier friends and others.

raines says to  (2005-7-30 15:56:10):
you can incorporate into your own blog
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 15:56:15):
Yes. After the question the link went to a post on my thoughts. BTW  - I'm from winksite/next village we helped sponsor the Moblogging session.
raines says to  (2005-7-30 15:56:19):
set up a specific email address
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:56:19):
Very cool.
raines says to  (2005-7-30 15:56:27):
that posts both to your flickr account and personal blog
raines says to  (2005-7-30 15:56:35):
also lets you tag all your photos with a specific tag
raines says to  (2005-7-30 15:56:42):
then get an RSS feed from that photo stream
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:56:56):
Is it like audblog?
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:57:2):
Forgive my ignorance!
raines says to  (2005-7-30 15:57:9):
if your blog software doesn't support flickr, you could syndicate that RSS feed
raines says to  (2005-7-30 15:57:12):
it alreay supports blogger movableType liveJournal
raines says to  (2005-7-30 15:57:18):
anything that uses blogger or metaweblog api
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 15:57:28):
flickr is all about photos.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:57:31):
Wow that's incredible.

sorry
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:58:6):
No prob! Believe me, you'll never overestimate my knowledge!
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:58:16):
I'm SOOOO not tech savvy!
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:58:21):
Do any blogs allow graphics?
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:58:35):
Oh, that's a good question!

Karen says to  (2005-7-30 15:58:55):
pingV does
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 15:58:59):
I use them a lot in AOL Journals which is there blogs. Yahoo is starting a blog in BETA.
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 15:59:17):
they get attached to rss feeds with enclosures,
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 15:59:24):
its how podcasting works
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 15:59:49):
Geez, every day I get overwhelmed by how little I know!
raines says to  (2005-7-30 16:0:31):
this machine about to  get used for the demo
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:0:33):
Is there a dummies book yet to teach the likes of me all of these wondrous things?
raines says to  (2005-7-30 16:0:34):

raines says to  (2005-7-30 16:0:41):

Michele says to  (2005-7-30 16:1:2):
I have never used the rss feeds but if I venture out of aol j-land to blog I guess that is my next tech lesson. Does that sound right?
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:1:12):
Please tell me someone else didn't understand everything that Raines just said! Ha ha.

RSS helps distribute your content to others. helps others to become aware of your "voice"
Martine says to  (2005-7-30 16:2:25):
I'm looking at the pictures of the attendees on Flickr and I'm surprised at the age range, which is higner than I thought it would be.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:2:38):
Right. I got that. I actually use Bloglines to help blogs, and have RSS on my blog too.
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 16:2:39):
That is what I thought and it threads out over the Internet?
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:3:8):
I meant, bloglines to read blogs.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:3:25):
Okay... so that's what that was about.
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 16:3:25):
feedster.com and technorati.com index and let you searh/discover blog content within minutes of publishing.
thespiritedwoman says to  (2005-7-30 16:3:26):
I'd like to hire a woman web designer to create a blog -centric web site using moveable type. I'm in LA - can any of you give me referrals.
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 16:3:39):

Alex is Alex Beauchamp, spirited woman. I don't know if she'll be interested, because she has several projects, but you should definitely look into her. She lives in Santa Monica.
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 16:5:2):
Well, this is what it is all about...this sharing of knowledge and just spilling it out.

Leah, I'm being schooled in the intricate ways of blogging when you're not near your computer!

Hahahaha. Yeah, I hear you. I haven't even mastered text messaging yet!

Oh, you good girl you!
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 16:7:49):
We had some champagne and wine a while back.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:7:50):
I only like my water with coffee in it.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:8:6):
Aah, bubbly.
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 16:8:10):
We were drinking all over the world!
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:8:21):
Fabulous, isn't it?
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 16:8:32):
I love the Internet!
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 16:8:40):
for some web accesss from their phone is a luxury or play thing. worldwide though many people don't have regular access to a computer. their phone is their only entry point to the internet.
leahbrooks says to  (2005-7-30 16:8:43):
I can't find the faucet on this darn laptop!
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:8:44):
I believe it's safe to say that we all do.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:9:22):
True, Wireless. In South Africa, where you pay per minute to be online (and where DSL is SO expensive and therefore still quite rare) text messaging is all the rage.
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 16:9:32):
I have seen that wireless. Third world access right here in Silicaon Valley.
redsaid says to  (2005-7-30 16:9:36):
Hahaha, Leah.

I hink the internet will move into the automobile, next

There's also WiMax coming, supposedly
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 16:17:19):
Laura, what is that?
snackish says to  (2005-7-30 16:17:24):
Into the auto for drivers or passengers?
rkrato says to  (2005-7-30 16:17:29):
I can't wait for wireless broadband everywhere
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 16:17:30):
Both
laura says (2005-7-30 16:17:30):
About 20 miles of range, many times faster than WiFi
laura says (2005-7-30 16:17:48):
No need for line of sight, either -- broadband broadcasting!
snackish says to  (2005-7-30 16:17:54):
WiMax would be great

the city next door, Dunedin, is going to cover the the whole city with wireless

Dunedin, FL
wirelessink says to  (2005-7-30 16:18:33):
or on long straight roads...
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 16:18:50):
Traffic updates that are better than drive time radio
rkrato says to  (2005-7-30 16:19:1):
your sidekick just needs a reader to convert to voice

Google is thinking of scanning every book published and having it available for search. Just don't think that is copywrite correct.

I have wirelless freinds and blog friends I have never met, yet we are as close as many people I know in flesh and blood and I think with the pictures and holograms, we'll be ever less tethered to where we are in space and time

Michele says to  (2005-7-30 16:26:4):
I agree with you. I am in prayer groups and I think they are more profound than real Church.
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 16:26:25):
Academic is part of the virtual blog we're doing now -- coming to a close in CA
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 16:27:9):
So part of it, for me, is by letting my hair down, I risk being "naked," yet I gain something from it too. Two sides of a coin.
lezzles says to  (2005-7-30 16:27:17):
i'd like to take a peek
Karen says to  (2005-7-30 16:27:34):

Karen says to  (2005-7-30 16:28:5):
?
Michele says to  (2005-7-30 16:28:33):
I think you are right. I am in new kinds of relationships. People around me don't understand. The people online are deeper friends in some ways.

ok, going to pull the transcript to post, and then announce the next sessions. brb
