Yesterday I donated $1000 to BloggerCon III. That’s a pretty big chunk of cash for a one-person company such as my own, but given the combined brain-power of the people attending BloggerCon, I’m willing to bet I’ll earn an extra $1000 over the next year from ideas and knowledge gained at the conference.
Plus, I like the concept of BloggerCon, in that it asks those who benefit most from the conference to give more. Given that I make money from RSS and blogging, it’s only fair that I chip in.
