Photo by Ezster On Saturday, I attended BlogHer Boston. The networking was fabulous - meeting many new bloggers in the Boston area as well as seeing long-time blogher buddies and of course, Jory, Lisa, and Elisa. BlogHer always inspires me and this one did not fail. It was better than eating chocolate!

One of the things we discussed was were strategies for resourcing the World Cafe.
