BlogWorld
I’m at the Blogworld and New Media Expo in Las Vegas. I came down with my good friend Mikal Belicove.
You may be wondering and saying to yourself, “Self, why did Jeremy drive all the way to Vegas to go to BlogWorld?” Well, on the left sidebar of my blog I say:
“I might not post often, but when I do, it could blow your mind.”
Figured I should come and listen to professionals and experts if I am out here trying to blow people’s minds.

Guy Kawasaki: Standing Room Only = Ability to help a good cause
Last Thursday’s event with Guy Kawasaki went very well. We figured we had about 530 people in attendance (in a room that only held 500) so it was literally standing room only. And that was a good thing since it’s going to facilitate something very cool (see below).
Guy presented on innovation. You can download his slides as a PDF document, and they include the customizations that he made just for Utah with his pretty funny jabs at MLM’s in the state.
Now to the very cool stuff: We charged everyone that attended $10. Mostly to make sure people actually showed up. Because of the generous help of Doba, the other sponsors, and Guy, we ended up

Guy Kawasaki – How to Innovate and Change the World
I wrote about The People You Meet by Blogging back in June of 2006. I first met Guy Kawasaki at the eBay Live conference in Las Vegas.
After that meeting, we corresponded back and forth a few times, and both decided it would make sense for Guy to be an advisor to Doba. I’ve been working with Guy now for almost a year in that capacity and it’s been great.
Once he was an official advisor to Doba, Guy offered to do a speech for us. Guy’s speeches aren’t cheap, and if you’ve ever seen him present, you know it’s well worth it. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I typically don’t think small. I decided to try

Inc 500 Conference – Marketing in a Digital World: How to Leverage Technology and New Media to Build Lust for Your Brand
Mark Jarvis,Dell’s CMO, spoke to the group of Inc. 500 and Inc. 5000 award attendees on day 1. He referenced a survey of Inc. 5000 companies that showed 73% of us felt word of mouth marketing was the most important marketing tactic. His presentation talked about how to turn ‘word of mouth’ marketing to ‘word of mouse’ marketing. To help build a case as to why this is necessary, he gave us these very interesting stats:
- Every second: 2 blogs are created, 7 PCs are purchased, 4 babies are born, 3 new DSL subscribers signup, 25 cellphones are sold, 2 million emails are sent, 1,157 videos are watched on YouTube, 23 domains are registered, 257 search queries are executed, 13,547
