Adam Green discovers that if you link to a blogher, she’s likely to link you back. Yeah! Shelley said guys don’t link, but I haven’t found that… I’m getting way more linking action here than I ever have in momblogland.
Adam asks, “When is the next Blogher?” It’s Friday July 28th and Saturday July 29th at the Hyatt San Jose. I’ll be there. I lived in Palo Alto for 10 years and can’t wait to see old friends and make new ones.
Blogher has some other exciting stuff planned: a revamp of their website that will include an insider’s surfing guide to blogher blogs covering an array of subjects. I’ll be serving as a contributing editor in Web & Technology. I’d like to think I was chosen for this position because of my thoroughgoing understanding of all things web, my ability to string together words like shiny pearls on a necklace, and my numerous connections to the A-list bloggers. Truth is, I got it because I’m freakishly obsessed with reading news feeds so I was one of the first to respond when Lisa Stone called for volunteers.

Adam Green is incredibly offensive, so I wouldn’t holler out ‘yeah’.
Shelley, I know you wouldn’t. I know you wouldn’t be a contributing editor for BlogHer either. Or call yourself a girl geek.
My priorities are to have fun, to learn, and to connect with the tech community. I make decisions based on those priorities.
I did feel offended when I read Adam’s post, but I didn’t see that expressing my feelings would get me anywhere. So I chose the oblivious route and used it as an opening. Perhaps I was wrong, but I did what I felt best at the time.
That is a bit strong Shelly. Obnoxious, dense sure, but “incredibly offensive”? I’ve responded at length on my blog:

Anne, if I offend you again, please don’t hesitate to call me out on it. If you don’t want to blog it, just email me.
Thanks both of you for continuing the conversation. I find it painful but valuable.
Adam, I might have told you in comments that I didn’t like “chick” but you don’t have comments open on your blog. I didn’t want to feature that issue on my blog. Next time, I’ll let you know.
Hmmm, well, I’ve surfed over to check out your ‘other’ (I take it more well-known?) blog, as I am soon to be in mourning for the retirement of your mom-blog. Little did I know I’d stumble into controversy! Very exciting stuff.
