		<description><![CDATA[PubCon Las Vegas is the next big search/social media marketing conference on the docket and yours truly will be there presenting on "The Convergence of Social Media &#038; Search." The session asks the questions, "Does social media prevent the need for search? Does social media play an important role in search?" Myself and three other panelists will look at both sides of the issue, and discuss where the two intersect.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's that time of year again - the annual SEMMY awards. In case you are unsure of what a SEMMY is, the phrase is coined of course from the television Emmy awards and is an annual online awards event started in 2008 to honor the great content produced across the search and online marketing industry.

I happy to announce that a post I wrote last April on managing your online reputation with Twitter has been nominated in the Reputation Management category. Our post is competing with 7 other nominees.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm freshly back from attending the 2nd Small Business Unleashed conference, this one held in Columbus Ohio where I served as one of four live-bloggers covering the sessions and workshops presented there. Like the first conference, this one proved to be an excellent time for learning, sharing and networking with small business owners from around the globe (one guy came from Australia). Out of all the conferences I attend, I have to say that this one is my favorite not only because of the quality, but the intimacy it provides seeing it is a much smaller conference than some of its larger counterparts.]]></description>

I am joined by Diane Aull, Jackie Baker and Scott Allen who will be live-blogging sessions as well.

		<description><![CDATA[The 2nd installment of SMX Advanced has come and gone. I was glad to have been able to be a part of it having missed the first one. In two days I live blogged a total of 8 sessions and attended one additional one that I didn't live blog. I met up with many old friends and even met some new people. It was also the first trip to Seattle for me although there was little time to actually enjoy the city. All in all, another great conference and a great trip.]]></description>
