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 used to do “social media job of the week” but haven’t for years. Anywhos. Want to work for Twitter? Head of Curation, APAC (Tokyo & Sydney) The Twitter Moments’ feature showcases the best of the stories unfolding live on Twitter. It makes it easy for users to experience only-on Twitter conversations and get…
How strange! I was reading Stilgherrian‘s rant – or, open letter – to traditional journalists: Dear Journalists, how can you spout all that stuff about “standards” and then go back to your mucky business? Oh, that’s right. You’re a proper journalist. It’s all the others… Actually, I know why you’re so bitter about “those bloggers”….
Facebook is/not a walled garden – Fang and me hosted group on Facebook. Here we go again: Why Facebook sucks Saturday, October 13, 2007 by Dave Winer. Another topic Scoble and I talked about today was Facebook. I said I don’t like Facebook, never have, and I finally figured out why. It’s another one of…
Your mission – go to the social network Twitter, write a haiku about English summer (or their approximation there of), tweet it, with the hashtag (label) of #kingsplace. From Kinsgplace website: Twitter Welcome to the Great British Summer Haiku Competition! Dear Visitor, Kings Place has teamed up with Network Rail to create the world’s first…
I think Google’s project to privatise the moon – cutely called Moon 2.0 – is a big mistake. The Google Lunar X PRIZE seeks to create a global private race to the Moon that excites and involves people around the world and, accelerates space exploration for the benefit of all humanity. The use of space…
I just updated How Much is Your Blog Worth (see right hand bar). It doesn’t update automatically so I have to adjust the code every so often. I also applied for Gmail (Google) for my domain name. Which is world.com.au if anyone is interested. I wonder if they’ll give it to me? I got the…

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?
