Greetings from the AMC, where everybody's friends, including Jeff Bercovici and our own Arianna Huffington, with whom he has taken issue over the notion of blogger pay scale. We're pleased as punch to report that Jeff was enthused about the notion of cross-posting from Portfolio to HuffPo, saying that he was always happy to increase his traffic. Well, now, see Jeff? Compensation comes in many forms, and rich indeed are those who blog within our warm, happy embrace. Arianna was happy to give Jeff a mini-scoop which may or may not be showing up on his blog soon (free content for Jeff!) and Jeff was only too happy to give ETP readers a ticket to the gun show while posing happily with the bosslady, waiving his usual appearance fee and image licensing charge. Teamwork! Synergy! Sweet, sweet bloggy togetherness! It warms the cockles, it does indeed.
In the meantime, today's fun has wrapped up, leaving behind a lone blogger finally able to get online in the conference area (Jeff Berc had the secret online access code that the three separate conference people I asked about it did not) and tables piled high with free magazines (here, Larry Hackett, I'm throwing you a bone: The first one I grabbed, I admit, was People. The second one was Wired. The third was Bust. Eclectic!) We'll be back with a few more posts today, including more from our favorite celaphods, but we'll leave you with our favorite quote from Arianna's speech, which we thought appropriate for the theme of the conference: "The only thing that is working about the surge is the branding that the surge is working." MagaBrand, indeed. And now, please enjoy this FREE photo of Jeff Bercovici.
p.s. Scott Donaton, you are so MSM.
Update: Here's Jeff's post! Scoopity-scoop! Scoopy-McScoop-Scoop! Scooperific! Sometimes it's fun to update an item days later, when you think no one's looking.
