Google Supports BloggerCon

“Yesterday we got a $1000 donation from Google. This is great because there are so many ways the weblog community and Google can cooperate to make the World Wide Web work better, and help people get the information they’re looking for, faster and faster. Bloggers create the knowledge on the Web, and Google helps us find it. We’ve had our differences, mostly about technical issues, and for now, we still do – but when it comes to learning about and supporting the blogosphere, we’re on the same side. So it’s with great pleasure that I thank Google for their financial support of BloggerCon, and look forward to their participation in the event.”
