I just recently moved back to my hometown of Las Vegas, and to be honest it's been a pretty hectic move. So in all the commotion I was completely unaware of the Blog World Expo happening right in my own backyard last month. The expo is all about bloggers, hence its name, and what it's really done to quote unquote "journalism" in the past few years. 

The video is a short documentary by Marc Ostrick and Michael Sean Wright about this movement but within the confines of the expo itself. It's an interesting look at how we perceive audience and getting a voice, since everyone has that chance, but at the the end of the day only a few are actually heard. Blogging is still a "right place at the right time" sorta thing, but as mentioned in the video it's become more effective than having to go through a middleman to get your ideas out into the world. And rather than having it all just be a blip on the radar on the internet, or on communications as a whole, it's situating itself in our daily lives and paving the road for what we know as communication - hence the new dial tone reference.

So anyway, now that I know where the expo is at and when it's going on you can guarantee T3chH3lp will be there next year, blogging with our fellow brethren in the social media world.
