I thought I would just indulge in a bit of me time - it's my blog after all.
I'm off to London on 1 December to play a small but important part in a conference on word-of-mouth marketing.
It's the idea of my boss, Andy Green, and is organised by the outfit behind the Delivering the New PR series of events, Don't Panic.
Andy's idea for the conference is to explore who is taking greatest ownership of w-o-m marketing. Is it the marketing people or the PR people?
It's an interesting question, and one explored recently in detail by Andy Sernovitz (via Mike Manuel).
I'll be doing my bit about blogging.... haven't thought too hard about it yet but will probably cover making your blog content sticky and SEO/SMO.
A week or two after that I'm off to Paris for Les Blogs 3. I'm looking forward to that as last year Simonsays... didn't even exist when the bloggerati were convening.
Stuart Bruce can't make it sadly, but me and my other boss, Ian Green (no relation), can. If anyone fancies meeting up for a chat about social media, blogging etc drop me a line. I'm dead keen on discussing the future for tagging, non-linear search and networks over a pastis or two....
*UPDATE* Still on the subject of me.... turns out I'm only a blummin C-List blogger! Oh the sheer, unadulterated joy.

Simon, I'm insanely jealous of your new found fame I'm only a D lister myself ahh me. congratulations and have fun in paris.

Ho Hum - that puts me in my place then, well behind you. Mind you I have only been blogging since August. One interesting point though is that the more you post the higher up the ranking you go - but I believe quality over quantity will out.
Well done Simon.
Ian

It sounds like you've got a busy schedule ahead of you then Simon!
Can I also just say, wow! I appear to be a C-list blogger too! How did that happen?! I've only scraped it through with 11 links in the past 180 days...but still, I'm not complaining!
