TiECON East 2008 Blogpreneur Contest Winners Announced!

We are very pleased to announce that the TiECON East Blogpreneur Contest received a lot of attention from the Blogger community.

But some of the bloggers stood head and shoulders above the rest in terms of attracting traffic to their blogs with a 'How to' post on... blogging, of course!

It was a difficult choice but finally the numbers spoke. We have the winners for the Blogpreneur Contest. They are:

Al Carlton of http://selfmademinds.com
Shawn Collins of http://blog.affiliatetip.com
Jeffrey Strain of http://www.financialhack.com/

We will felicitate the winners with a small award ceremony at TiECON East 2008 on Thursday, May 29.

We look forward to seeing you all there to share in the winning bloggers' success.

Interested in Web 2.0 talks

The line up for Web 2.0 talks for TiECON East looks great this year. It's incorporated into each subtopic it looks like (so much so that I'm debating between several talks at the moment... as international marketing is of interest to me as well).

I've just started a marketing strategy firm, and we're focusing (informally) on new media, with the eventual hope of expanding to foreign markets.

I'm looking forward to the conference events, and hope to meet many of you.

Cheers,
Kate

10. Thirty humble volunteers to the TiE community we betrothe, fifty speakers in three tracks, titled Technology, LifeSciences and Leveraging India's growth.

6. Oh say can you see, the rewards of entrepreneurship are many. Come and meet our luminaries, the New England stars of the community, and if they can do it, so can thee!

5. Networking is the key to success, every successful person knows this to be true. This is why we called the child of six months of planning, sweat and work, “Harnessing the Network”.

4. Early humans told stories and sang around campfires, but at TiECON we have Casino Night, dance floor and a DJ mixer. They all serve the same purpose, to rejuvenate, relax, and cut loose.

3. America is our home and hearth, Indus is our hope and heart. TiE’s mission is to unite the two, please come and meet other people just like you!
