Boston Bloggers' Summit (Version 2.0)

Thanks to everyone who came out to All Asia on Saturday to make our very first Boston Blogger Summit a success!

Approximately 50 people showed up over the three hours to learn more about the paper, and each other. Bloggers from all mediums and disciplines enjoyed a few hours of chatting while sampling appetizers from the All Asia kitchen and listening to DJ Anomaly spin tunes.

We talked about how bloggers from all geographic and thematic areas of Boston will be published and promoted in BostonNOW and on our website. We also talked about involving them in the process of determining how to create a compensation system that reflects success and delivers rewards that are meaningful to them (cash or tickets or merchandise or travel, etc.).

For those of you who weren't able to make it, and for those of you who want to talk to us again about the next steps toward getting published, keep your calendars clear for the night of Tuesday, March 27th. We'll be hosting a pizza-and-soda get-together after work at our new offices at 30 Winter Street in downtown Boston from 5 to 8pm. It'll be the same format as Saturday where you can drop by at any time (in other words, there is no official presentation, just lots of give and take).

RSVP at Upcoming.org.

Remember, you can always reach us at bostonnowpaper@gmail.com or comment on these posts with your questions and/or thoughts.

Thanks, again, all!
