I have never really thought about it.Guess from a personal view it's the desire to communicate and creatively educate and inform a community. Never really considered leveraging a blog for business purposes or the like. Mind you your blog is very topic focused, which is good.I can understand and agree with you on the speaking gig thing. Events that demand you pay travel and accommodation costs and don't pay any speaker fees really do need to consider the quality of their speakers.In fact I know for certain that these types of over priced, over marketed, events are damaging the conferencing marketplace; as they are giving people the wrong idea on what a conference is all about. They tend to be low in numbers, high on hype, low on real deliverable content, and frankly don't have a good overall speaker list (as you can expect, especially with the no consultants rule).See you in a week and a half Steve.

Cheers Lucio Ribeiro Hi Stephen,

Making a good name for myself online is a priority, it’s my way to a proactive approach getting my name out there and building relationship with smart people – always learning from someone.
