At one point during Day 1, the enthusiasm so great, I had to shout loudly, "BloggerCon come to order please." Luckily I have a loud voice, and everyone had good humor, so we kept to the schedule.

We were able to do spontaneous things, and most people who had something to say got a chance to say it.

Did we figure out what weblogs are? Probably not -- but we came closer.

Did every connection get made? Sadly not, but many did.

Will there be a BloggerCon baby? We'll be watching out for that in nine months or so. ;->

This last weekend we met face to face and did a great barn-raising for a thing called a virtual community. Now we reap the benefits, of new friendships, new ideas, new flow, new new.

The purpose of this email is to thank you for exceeding my wildest dreams of what a BloggerCon would be. Thank you thank you. You're all such sweet people, I look forward to seeing you all again, very soon, Murphy-willing of course.

Finally, we're going to keep sending out bulletins, as we do the post-meeting work, we'll see where it goes. If you want to be sure to receive the bulletins, check your membership on the BloggerCon weblog and choose to receive bulletins. If you'd rather not, follow that path by unchecking the option. Either way please accept our gratitude for helping make this Con such a great event.

Thanks!
