Blogher posts round-up: Part 5

There are now many, many more Blogher posts than I can keep up with; here are just a few more, tied together loosely by the themes of "digestion" and "transformation".

• Blogaholics - BlogHer reflections, changes, and restructuring my network : "I've been reflecting on BlogHer ever since I left. I went in expecting to meet people I knew, and many I had not, but was not expecting to get anything 'new' from the conference topics. Boy, was I wrong."


• Berkeley Blog - BlogHer Rave : "It was a carnival of sorts, for women who blog under monikers such as Arse Poetica and Cross Over (transgender) and Time Goes By, and during the course of the day, layers of knowledge and accomplishment, humor and humanity and invention were exposed like so many facets of a gemstone."


• Java Diva - BlogHer... It's good for the soul. : "You gave me what I did not even know I needed and strengthened me when I was at my weakest."


• Multidimensional.Me - Forty square miles, surrounded by reality : "This trip has revitalised me. Thanks for that!"


• Full Circle Online Interaction Blog - How it Happens Changes Us : "Technology is not neutral. Our application of it is not neutral. We hold the responsibility to think about how we yield this new power. That means trying new things. Making missteps. Remixing our approach. Ponzi is ready for that because she blogged about it right afterwards, right back out to the world, fearlessly. That's fantastic."


• Sweetney.com - blogher recap: let's do this. : "all of this is going to sound corny and sappy, but there's really no way around that, so here goes. i have never, in my entire life, felt such warmth and kinship among so many women, many of whom i'd not only never met before, but did not even know existed prior to saturday."


• Worker Bees Blog - The Myth of Meritocracy: "Does no one else see the irony in people dissing the content quality of the most widely read blogs, while still linking to them and clamoring to be properly accounted for on them? Does no one else know a fantastic writer who toils in obscurity? Are there no Van Gogh bloggers out there?"


• nina turns 40 - (not) still the same old girl she used to be : "How do you come back from a three day weekend and tell people you've had a life changing experience without sounding like, a) you're exaggerating, or b) you've drunk the kool-aid?"
