BlogHer 09: A Lijit experience

Aug
5

I love going to conferences and listening. There is always a lot of conversation going on, in sessions and hallways, and I enjoy just shutting up. With so many inspiring bloggers in one place, there is much to be learned. A big part of our culture at Lijit is to listen to what our users have to say and I was honored to do just that in Chicago at BlogHer.

On quite a few occasions at the conference, someone in a group would ask about Lijit and before I was able to answer, a blogger standing nearby would jump in to explain why they were using Lijit. It really is enough to make a girl’s heart flutter. To see the hard work and evangelism that everyone at our company does on a daily basis come to life? Totally awesome.

It’s taken me a while to get to this post, but only because it’s taken me a while to fully process and recover from the conference. I apologize that this post has turned into a long list of links, but it is a long list of links that makes me happy. Some of these publishers are women that I met at BlogHer in 2007 and they’re still using Lijit. When I compare this list with the one I put together after last year’s conference, it’s amazing to see the growth. I can only imagine what next year’s post will look like.

Thanks to everyone at BlogHer and I’ll see you ladies (and gents) in New York next summer!

UPDATE: Just as soon as I hit publish, I remember some lovely publishers I left out. Sorry.

[Mandatory note: If I somehow forgot to link to you, please leave a comment and I'll rectify that situation.]

  • It was lovely to meet you, too. And the world's weirdest swag bag was simply a bonus.
  • I am with you, still have not written a BlogHer09 post.... eventually I will get to it!

    Have to say I love Lijit! I love it's analytics. Can't imagine using anything else!

    PS. Lijit is lucky to have you. You are a great Lijit representative!!
  • It was great seeing you too, Tara! And, I'm behind in my wrap-up post, so don't feel too bad.

    And, talking to the new designer next week, so Lijit will soon be on http://www.jspepper.tv - I'm thinking the name will just be @jspepper. :)
