Darren Rowse, Australia’s number one blogger is on the speaking circuit.
A dude worth listening to – in a world with a lot of talkers, he is a doer. This is a list of Probloggers public speaking engagements in the next couple of months:
23 July – Melbourne – TweetupMellers (a meetup for Twitter users – I won’t be speaking at this, just a normal attendee and I’ll try to get there after the other event)
I got me a lunch date (via ebay), but the price is a bit steep. Its for 4 people, so we could, y’know, maybe pay like 6 grand (ouch) each? Shame, I’d rather have lunch with Mr. M than Keanu, Harrison or Brad. Don’t you just think he’d have the sexiest brain? Yep, a great…
Just a quick one, posting up of a press release, really. But important news – not the first time we’ve seen this but it’s been ages since say, the Pepsi announcement. Hat tip @inspiredadvntrs InspiredAdventures who kindly gave me the heads up : Jetstar has announced it will direct 40% of its marketing budget to social…
Bumpz0red because I added in the stats from Hitwise.For each word you get right, we donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations to help end world hunger.Freerice needs to have a much better backstory/about section than this (is it really for the UN?): FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site,…
10,000 breaking news citizen journalism videos on YouTube marked as **Not For Broadcast** and an ABC TV affiliate that ignores Twitter’s breaking news … may you live in interesting times #media #socialmedia #donedeal
I always get into trouble for these types of posts. Something about me hating newspapers (I don’t), promoting blogger vs journos war (I’m not). But hey ho. *dons flak jacket* Here I am using my two unread newspapers as a thick place mat for my Christmas Eve Chinese lunch, and what should cross my desk:…
Tonight is the Academy Awards night. Which is odd, because it’s usually around my birthday – March 24th. Do you know how annoying it is to invite people over for a birthday party and they keep wanting to turn the music off and turn the telly on? I’m emotionally scarred for life. Anyway, this is…

Thanks for profiling one of the top bloggers out there. I enjoyed working with Darren on Name Your Dream Assignment, a contest aimed at photographers.
But I am curious. How do you measure “top”? Right, Darren is a doer and has tremendous influence. But does that make him top? Maybe. Is there a way to measure such influence objectively? Is such a measurement meaningful or worthwhile?

“Top blog” is usually a combination of visitor stats (Alexa ratings for example), links in (people referencing the material the blogger creates) such as Technorati, social bookmarking such as Delicious and offline behaviour (famous, referenced as ‘expert’ by mainstream media, published author). This is often pulled together as semantic – “most helpful”, “most informative”, “most entertaining” “most humorous”.
Or it can just be a blogger you like. Darren wins on all these, I reckon 🙂

Hey Lauren,

why are you linking to blog world/new media expo via an affiliate site (http://www.shareasale.com/) rather than a direct link?
