Carnival Buzz

Not to toot our horn too much or anything, but Frank Sennet wrote this flattering article on Blog Carnival in the Spokesman-Review, the newspaper of reference for Spokane, Washington, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and the Inland Northwest.

Frank, who makes "sense of the blog world so you don't have to", also provided some handy links to go along with the article.

We're glad that the reporter who can make sense of the blog world likes Blog Carnival. Thanks Frank!

If you didn't get a chance to go to WEB 2.0 Kongress and hear Blog Carnival CTO Brad Rubenstein, you can read about his talk here and here and here.

One of the write-ups says:

Und ihren Beitrag zum Geschäft von Rubensteins Unternehmen liefern. Denn dort erscheint - wie auf der Website von Blog Carnival Inc. - zielgruppenspezifische Werbung. Das zweite Standbein der Firma: Market-Intelligence - also der Verkauf von Benutzerprofilen an interessierte Firmen. Ein heißes Thema, wie der Referent einräumt.

We want to make sure to let our users know that Blog Carnival does not sell personal information about its users, as this passage implies.

Brad has posted about some cool new web apps he saw at the Kongress here.

Blog Carnival's CTO, Brad Rubenstein, will present Blog Communities, Blog Carnivals, and Blog Events at the WEB 2.0 Kongress on Tuesday, 10 October 2006. If you happen to be in Frankfurt, stop by! If not, you can find Brad's slides here. (If you need the Acrobat reader to read the presentation, you can get it here). We're not biased or anything, but the presentation has lots of good history and data on blog carnivals. Enjoy!
