Black Blogging Rockstars Panel A Success!
By Maurice | 2 comments
2So in case you haven’t heard, our panel Black Blogging Rockstars went really well. There was a great turnout, and so far, everyone who has heard of the panel or attended it said it was wonderful. This is good news for me because I have been heavily medicated, sleep deprived, and generally icky throughout the conference. Blech.
Anywho, we will have video and audio of the panel coming up soon. In the meantime, you can check out this post by Adria Richards (who also graciously recorded the panel) to get a better idea of what was discussed. Here’s the link to her post: http://butyoureagirl.com/2010/03/14/black-blogging-rockstars-sxsw-panel-review
A big thanks to you all who submitted quotes to us via the Black Blogging Rockstars website. We were able to run a number of quotes through the panel, and have even more quotes (including audio and video) on the site.
Boost Recognition Amongst Your Competitors By Winning Web Awards

1Here’s a link to a great article from Website Magazine on how Web awards can increase your online profile. Here’s an excerpt:
“Just about everyone seeks some form of approval and recognition every now and then. And approval amongst our peers and customers is critical for website success. One of the challenges of running a successful website is being able to set yours apart from the likely hundreds or thousands that offer exactly what you do or some close variation. That’s precisely where website awards fit into the marketing mix.”

New Categories for 2010…Suggestions?
By Maurice | 3 comments
3As we gear up for the 2010 Black Weblog Awards here at BWA HQ, we want to know what categories you think should be included for this year. Right now, we have an impressive stable of 31 categories (!), but the bloggers themselves know what’s hot, what’s not, and what needs to be recognized. Speak up and let us know what you want included as a category in this year’s Awards.
The comment box is open. Let’s hear it!

Do you want to keep up with the Black Weblog Award winners blogs? Sure you do…it’s some of the best content available on the web. We went through and pulled the RSS feeds from all the winners (with active blogs), and compiled them into one super feed (an OPML feed in geek speak). Just take a gander over at the right sidebar.
Don’t just click the link though! You need to save the file to your desktop then import it into the feedreader of your choice. We like Google Reader over here at BWA headquarters. We’re going to update this feed with new winners every year, so you’ll want to keep coming back after winners are announced. Just another service from your friendly neighborhood Black Weblog Awards.
