Blogapalooza 2009
Posted: February 17th, 2009 | Author: John Koetsier | Filed under: tags-not-categories | Tags: blogapalooza, bloggers, hruzek, social media | 6 Comments »
Early in 2008 Robert Hruzek invented Blogapalooza – a way to celebrate bloggers’ best posts of the year.
This January he did it again. I don’t have a clue how he managed, but Robert Hruzek was able to get 128 posts from 128 different bloggers live over a couple of weeks in early January.
Here’s a much-belated post on all of those posts, and all of those bloggers …

Found this site almost by accident and now discovering the great content here – thanks!
I found out about Blogapalooza from Twitter. The retweet chain was very strong and fast… I jumped on the train within the first week and was featured during the last week… it was a great force of networking and I am enjoying all the great blogs I discovered!
John,
This type of networking is what social media at its best is about. Thank you for the inclusion. Positive begets positive!
Thanks for participating, John! It was a blast, wasn’t it? Can’t wait to see what happens next year!
Tip o’ the hat to ya, Bubba!
