On Monday (24 September), the Social Media Club St. Louis (@SMCSTL) hosted a panel of bloggers to discuss, what else, blogging. It has been many years since I first started blogging and the reasons and results of blogging, not to mention the tools, have evolved quite a bit. The panel shared some great insights into what motivates them to blog, and what they get out of blogging.
SMCSTL did a great job of putting a diverse group of bloggers together, including four distinct type of bloggers:
- Melanie Bernds (@DanforthCenter) blogs as an employee
- Matt Homann (@MattHomann) blogs in support of his own business
- Danyelle Little (@TheCubicleChick) blogs for a living
- Stephanie Shepard (@OffEatenPathSTL) blogs for passion
I was going to write a bit more about the conversation, but Allison Babka (@AMBabka) did a better job than I could have ever hoped to do in her storification of the night.
