Once again, bloggers from Brooklyn (and beyond) converge for the 4th annual Brooklyn Blogfest.
If it’s at all like last year’s event, there will be many more bloggers than I even knew existed in Brooklyn. Last year’s “shout out” portion of the night, where each blogger had their 15 seconds in the spotlight, took hours! (Okay, maybe not hours, but a really long time and was much more interesting than it sounds). I’d expect that this year’s crowd will be significantly larger. Even without the surge in new blogs started by the newly underemployed, it seems everyone is blogging (and Facebooking and Twittering and LinkedIn-ing and …).
Yours truly will be there to participate in the new “Blogs-Of-A-Feather” special, small-group sessions. I’ll be among the group of photo bloggers.
Below is the official announcement from Blogfest headquarters. Hope to see you there.
