BlogHer '08 Video: All the links I've got...add your own in comments

UPDATED: I got the links for the Closing Keynote, Living the Truman Show, from Katy this afternoon, so I've added them below. It is in 8 segments on YouTube. This post is just one big link-fest, mostly to point you to all the video taken by our official conference videographer, Katy Chen. To fill in the blanks on the Community Keynote I've also included links to some of Gena Haskett and Elaine from Wannabe Hippie's videos.

VIDEO: Blogher08 Radical Moms!

At last year's BlogHer conference, I loved the mommyblogging sessions. They were full of spirited, lively and intelligent discussions. And the session I attended Friday morning was no exception. The question for all of these women...Is MommyBlogging still a radical act? Moderated by Lindsay Ferrier, the panelists were: Polly Pagenhart (Lesbian Dad), Maria (Immoral Matriarch), and Charlene Li (Forrester's Groundswell and also blogs at svmoms.com)(If I didn't ID

BlogHer in Second Life Update: Final Agenda and Registration Update

As you probably know, BlogHer in real life is sold out, make that waaaay sold out with a long waiting list. Now, there will be live blogs, and shortly post-conference there will be session podcasts. But if you're hoping for something a little more participatory, you still have time to register for BlogHer in Second Life.

The Final BlogHer '08 Blogging Birds of a Feather and Room of Your Own schedule

Remember when we opened up two tracks of open slots for the community to schedule in topic-based Birds of a Feather meet-ups and community-driven Room of Your Own sessions? OK, this might refresh your memory! Those slots filled up pretty quickly, but since I'm not sure you all go check the agenda obsessively (you don't? really?) I thought I'd announce the final line-up.

Announcing the BlogHer "Community Keynote" on Friday July 18th...and how YOU can be a part of it

There's been a notable open slot in the BlogHer '08 Conference agenda, and that's because we've been cooking up something very special: The First Ever "Community Keynote" event at a BlogHer Conference. That's right: the closing keynote for Day One of the conference will be live blog readings from the BlogHer community itself. You'll submit your favorite posts, and we'll get 20 of you at the microphone sharing that favorite post with the entire BlogHer crowd.We thought of calling it BlogHerpalooza, the BlogHer Slam, BlogHer Open Mic or some other such name. But it's a keynote and it will be built from the community, hence: The BlogHer Community Keynote. Originally the brainchild of Eden Kennedy, who has some experience organizing large community writing efforts via NaBloPoMo, here's how it's going to work:
