So I am in total countdown mode for BlogHer, it’s Tuesday and I haven’t finishing shopping or packing for my journey to Chicago. Not only is this my first time in the windy city, it will also be my first time attending BlogHer. YIPPPIE!
I can’t wait to meet the great woman I’ve been twittering with, blogging with and reading with for the past couple of years. Hopefully I’ll be able to connect with everyone. If not I am armed with some really cool networking tools.
Before I even found out I was going to BlogHer I ordered a handful of Moo cards, the little mini ones, for my blog. But it was only 100 cards so I ordered one more set just to be safe. Then I was thinking what “digital junkie” uses PAPER business cards?
As a “digital and tech junkie” I thought I would try some DIGITAL ways to network and report of my BlogHer experience. I found and installed some really cool networking apps on the iPhone.
WordPress for iPhone – I can update my blog with events and activities without having to carry around my laptop.
TweetDeck for iPhone – This is actually the first time I’m using TweetDeck. I have no idea why I never used it on the computer. I set up a #blogher search deck.
Bump – This is an interesting app that I can’t wait to try out. Everyone with the iPhone should download this free app so we can easily exchange contact information, you can even control how much information you want to share.
Whrrl – You guys already know I love this new mobile story editor. Be sure to download the app so you can whrrl at BlogHer
Facebook for iPhone - Update your facebook while away from your computer
textPlus+ – textPlus lets groups of friends chat all at once – like a chatroom in text!
If you have an iPhone and have some of these tools, please let us know and if you know of some other good networking tools, please let me know.
The iPhone isn’t the only networking gadget I have up my sleeve. I bought a Poken months ago, but never went anywhere to use it. I hope I run into a lot of Poken uses so we can exchange information to!
I’m not discounting BlackBerry users. I replaced mine with the iPhone months ago. I would love to know what tools you have on your Blackberry to help you network.
I’ll have to try the Bump app. Sorry that I won’t see you at BlogHer. Are you going to Blogalicious?

Everyone seems to be going to Blogher. Can’t wait to read your updates straight from your WordPress app. What’s going on there? What’s it like? Wow so many women all in the same place.
Cheers, Chloe
