We’re off to BLOG WORLD EXPO tomorrow! (Can’t you just hear the echoing, booming voice here?!) It’s the ‘original blogger conference’ and the largest gathering of bloggers, or as they explain it:
The 2009 BlogWorld & New Media Expo will take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center, beginning with the exclusive “Social Media Business Summit”(TM) conference on October 15th and continuing with the BlogWorld & New Media Expo and Conference October 16th-17th. Read More
No, the subject doesn’t have to be about ‘female friendship,’ like here at Girlfriendology, but what blogs would you recommend to your girlfriends? 
I attended the New Media Cincinnati meet-up yesterday (a fun, growing group formed by my friend Daniel Johnson Jr.) and had the wonderful opportunity to get to know some local women bloggers much better. In fact, I’d highly recommend them and their blogs – they’re passionate and knowledgeable about social media and their blogs/businesses. So I wanted to introduce them.
Add to that my recent trip to Blissdom (a conference last weekend in Nashville for women bloggers). I met and heard so many wonderful women bloggers that I wanted to share more of these. So, please add your blogs and other women’s blogs to this list of ‘girlfriend approved blogs and businesses‘:

Girlfriends tell me their stories. In line at the grocery store, at parties, in emails and any chance they get. In general, women love to share about the fabulous friend(s) who bless their life and how they’ve been there for each other through every type of situation and how much they need their girlfriends. But what about those who don’t? Read More
In it’s simplest form, all it takes is a girlfriend who introduces you to someone/thing you want/need to know. From there, historic, amazing things can happen … like growing your business, finding a babysitter or cleaning person, to sharing a great memory together or forming a forever friendship.
And, for creative women, this simple networking can mean a new mentor to help you learn knitting or how to market your business. Connections can be made that are the foundation for partnerships in business and creative ventures. Or, it could even mean that you have another person in your support team with whom you can share your creative ideas and they build on these to form a wonderful solution, business or creative venture.
I attended a New Media group today and met some creative, resourceful and helpful people. Each that I spoke with had an openness to find out more about Girlfriendology and many offered ideas and support. One woman I spoke with, Krista, openly shared ideas with me for Girlfriendology and related to the wild, and often stressful, times of a creative woman trying to do too much. Just in talking with her, I was relieved to find other women in New Media (blogging, podcasting, etc.) who understand my life. Sometimes that is all it takes is a girlfriend to share and relate. Sometimes, it’s just that simple.
You know things/people I don’t. You have a background that differs from mine and gives you a different perspective. I have an equally different base of knowledge. So together, we are twice as smart, strong and, as girlfriends do, have more fun. This week your challenge is to simply be a girlfriend and help other women out. Or, allow other women to share ideas and support with you. I know you’ll be inspired, relieved, comforted, stronger and, in doing so, happier. Be a girlfriend. It’s that simple.
P.S. And, if you happen to live in the Mid-West and are in (or want to be) New Media, attend the upcoming PODCAMP OHIO. It’s June 28th in Columbus OH and is a free ‘unConference’ on new media. In addition to learning tons all in one day, I would bet you’ll also meet women (and men) who will have a positive impact on your creative future! Check it out!!
