The announcement was made yesterday on the BlogWorldExpo news blog, and went to great detail to describe [img src="http://sale-online.click/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ostrowhartlinebwe.jpg" caption="" credit="" alt="ostrow-hartline-bwe"]the personal history between BWE founder Rick Calvert and PNME founder Tim Bourquin, and the way the names changed to overlap and coincide over the years.
The union is a testament to the growth of both Blogging and Podcasting to a much larger world only best described by the term “New Media,” as well as the phenomenal success of the conferences themselves.
The new event will be called “BlogWorld & New Media Expo 2009,” and presumably both conference websites will be good places to check for further information (www.blogworldexpo.com and www.newmediaexpo.com).
