DC Blog-o-rama

Hey all!

Eric Roach, your friendly blog recruiter here. On Monday I had the distinct pleasure of hosting the first-ever non-Austin blogger meetup in Washington, DC. I was in town to attend the Healthcare Blogging Summit (which was quite enlightening - great bloggers talking about all things blog), after which I went down to the brickskeller (holder of the guinness record for most varieties of beer!)

Matt, John and Doug came down from Hotpads.com. They are a very 2.0 business that helps connect you with great places to live, and their blog is chock full of good advice on looking for a home, as well as chronicling the ups and downs of 2.0 startup land.

David from Fight HIV in DC was there, and we got to talk about the current crisis, and the ups and downs of being an activist and a blogger.

And, although she didn’t have a beer, SeeJaneMom came by. She’s a relatively new blogger, but is already having a fair amount of luck, good traffic, and a lot of fun. She also has the kidalog, which is a blog about shopping for kids.

Overall it was a lot fun and we look forward to bringing a meetup to your town soon.
