BlogCode Helps You Find Blogs Similar To...
 By
Robert Scoble
Ever find a blogger you really like and wonder "are there other blogs similar to this one?"
Well, that's what BlogCode is trying to do. Mine will be indexed shortly (I filled out a short "code" about my blog and at the end of it I learned that Matt Cutts of Google is similar to me. I already subscribe to Matt, but that does demonstrate that this is a good way to find out if there's other bloggers who are similar to your interests).
Oh, and Matt, if you ever wanna sneak onto Microsoft's campus (it's just half a mile from Google's in Mountain View) let me know. Our cafeteria isn't as hip, but I'll buy you lunch and show you around. Why did I say that? Well, he took photos of Ask Jeeves' corporate offices today and wondered if he could get access to other Silicon Valley offices for his picture-taking exploits. After all, Google let me onto its campus with my camcorder a while back so turnaround is fair play!
Update: the list of blogs that are similar to mine is up now. Neat, some cool new blogs that I didn't know about!
Oh, while we're talking about blogs similar to mine, I see there was a dustup over on Doc Searls blog (and others) about the fact that the Z list is being kept out of the kingdom by the A list bloggers. I guess by linking to Doc's blog I'm a gatekeeper and I'm just working to keep the Z list down. Hey, it's a conspiracy. If we only link to each other you'll never be able to find any new voices, right?
Here, let's play a game. Everyone in the world say "brrreeeport" on your blog and you'll be listed on this Technorati page automatically. Heh. There are also no pages on the Internet linked to for that term on Google, Yahoo, or MSN.
So, now you too can take down the man! Get your due! Get around the gatekeepers. Tell all those A list bloggers to screw off and die! Heheh. Or, you can let me own that term all bymyself! Heheh.

NewComm Forum Approaches
 By
Mike Manuel
The new media marketing universe, or at least what looks to be a good chunk of
it, is set to descend on Palo
Alto the week after next for the second annual NewComm
Forum.
The speaker
lineup looks sick, as does the schedule,
so my hat's off to Elizabeth
Albrycht, Jen
McClure and their team for pulling together what I expect will be another
kick-butt conference. If you can peel away from things to attend either the pre-conference
boot
camp, and/or the day sessions it'll be well worth your time and money -- in
fact, I was given this promotional code (NCFR200) last week which apparently shaves
$200 off the registration (more
here).
On day two of the conference, I'll be leading a panel talk with the influencer marketing team at Yahoo! ("Engaging the Influencers"), who are also my clients, and we'll share and discuss how the combined Voce/Yahoo! team is actively listening to and engaging with influencer communities, as well as reviewing some of the tools and tactics we regularly use, and finally digging, I hope with help from the audience, a little deeper into some real-world examples of how this program works *with* marketing and PR inside the company. If there are things you'd like to hear us discuss, leave a comment here or send me an email.
Two more conference-related things worth pointing out here:
First, my "esteemed" colleague and now two-time NewComm speaker, Matthew Podboy (Active Voice), will be leading a discussion the afternoon of March 3rd, entitled "New Marketing Case Studies," with Dave Parmet and DL Byron, which from what I hear, should be very interesting.
Finally, and most important, Voce's teaming up with the SNCR, BlogHer and Girls for a Change to host a dinner fundraiser the evening of March 1st to support non-profit organizations pioneering the use of new communications tools. It's a good cause with some great entertainment lined up, so I wanted to simply call it out here and encourage folks to RSVP.
See you at NewComm next month!
