Word Press
Any who has followed the growth of WordPress on the Internet knows that Matt Mullenweg, the founder, and Toni Schneider, the CEO of Automatic.com, value community and education. Those were the values where we met when we talked about SOBCon and WordPress teaming up. SOBCon08 is almost entirely powered by WordPress blogs.
We look up to WordPress for all they have brought to the Internet and the world that enables communication with ease and elegance. We’re grateful for all that we’ve learned using the product they offer and for the way they keep offering us more. Thank you, WordPress for helping us power our businesses and our lives.
b5media
When the first SOB (Successful and Outstanding Blogger) Awards went out, a small blog network was forming. From that day to this b5 and Successful-Blog have been friends and finally, we became related in March of 2006. I’m grateful for the friendship and support of this network and community of bloggers that has gone from a gleam of an idea in November of 2005 to a thriving business today. Check out their offerings of content and quality — Darren Rowse’s Problogger and Digital Photography School, Brian Clark’s Copyblogger, and more than 330 blogs in 15 vertical channels. b5 serves over 10 million unique visitors a month. Thanks, b5 for keeping your care for bloggers.
THC - Top Hosting Center
One of the first sponsors to support SOBCon was a lovely lady from Montreal, Sia Liolios. I spoke to her personally on the phone about the event and what we had to offer. She immediately looked for ways to align her company’s goals with our own. THC had caught my eye because of a customer care program in which they feature the people who have sites on their servers. It shows that their customers are people, not just accounts, and that THC gets to know who they are.
Sia will be coming to SOBCon and bringing a Special SOBCon08 life-time hosting offer. Do meet her when you’re there. Both she and THC are unforgettable.
Blog Catalog
Another sponsor who’ll be among us at the conference are the team from Blog Catalog. They were the force behind the Chrisg.com Authority Blogger contest. Blog Catalog has been supporting blogger neighborhoods longer than the term “social media” has been in the blogosphere! Tony and Angela run a thriving blog community that is all about bloggers getting to know and work with each other.
Chitika
Chitika, a sponsor of SOBCon07, has returned to support us again this year. They’ve expanded their presence and expertise in supporting publishers. We’re proud to have them with as a returning sponsor. Thank you, Chitika, for your investment in SOBCon08.
Wiley Publishing
The folks at Wiley have pitched in to offer every attendee a copy of Problogger, the groundbreaking handbook by Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett. It’s a most generous offer. Wiley has been the lead publisher of blogging books for the last decade, among their titles you’ll find Naked Conversations by Robert Scoble and Shel Israel and the Dummies series. We’re delighted to have Wiley author, Chris Garrett, as a featured speaker at SOBCon08.
