Have had some bank-and-forth with Jeff and Chris Brogan. Invitations and offers of assistance from Pulver. I told him I'd come to his VON conferences if they paid my expenses.
Told them The Faux Press would cover 'em for $5k / week. No go. I've decided what my time and energy are worth. Long-tail that $40K and ship a bunch of vloggers to vlog the conference rather than sponsor a hierarchical contest, hmmm? He'd get a shitload more Google Juice and advertising from that approach. Just sayin'. Jeff? You listening?
