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)
Hat Tip: The Age a message for Michael Specht: @mspecht you “read” my blog, but only for the CARTOONS?? http://tinyurl.com/yt9qbf By the way, is this a typical blog post or a typical tweet on Twitter? Don’t you feel like you’ve missed something? Like a whole conversation? Ah well, just hit Archive or follow the threads…
If you are in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane I am teaching some one day hands on courses on social media campaigns, Facebook and Twitter, also 1/2 day courses on LinkedIn or Google Plus. Handson means the practical exercises are computer based (we have a lab). Please forward this (Share on Facebook, Tweet it, email, whatevs…
Courseware for Social Media Workshops I’m going to gradually, as time permits, migrate all my courseware across to the new format, offer it for free download under Creative Commons for download (lulu or scribd), or physical colour workbooks via publish on demand Lulu (http://stores.lulu.com/laurelpapworth) . WARNING: I’ve ordered the new format printed workbook from Lulu but…
Forums finger doof deadbeats!!11!!! So says David Braithwaite of the Sydney Morning Herald. Forums on doof community websites such as australiens.net and oztrance.com are buzzing with chatter about undesirable gatecrashers at the Good Friday, Amazing Sunday event. Well I went to australiens.net thread (for the Alien in every Australian) and there were 17 posts. That…
Guess what I’m doing Monday night? TA-DA! Keynote and then a panel about Mobile Social Networks, at Mobile Monday Sydney. You got something better to do?

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,
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?

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