Thanks to your support, Wise Bread has been selected to host a SXSW session on Blogger Credibility. 

We would love to see you at our session!

You'll meet plenty of bloggers you know (Adam Baker, Thursday Bram, GeekMommy, Glen Stansberry, Wise Bread founders, etc), and have the opportunity to meet folks from Blogher, Lifetime TV Moms, WOMMA, Liferemix Network, Walmart Moms, and more.

If you can't make it to Austin, you can join us for a special live Tweetchat discussion (with a $20 GC prize).

Session Details

• Title: Measuring Blogger Credibility: FTC Regulation vs. Crowdsourced Solutions
• Time: Saturday, March 13 at 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
• Format: Core Conversations
• Location:  SXSW Austin Convention Center Room 19B (map)
• Topic:  The FTC wants to regulate blogs because many are posting reviews without disclosing conflicts of interest. Is government intervention the answer? This session discusses new ways to measure blogger credibility using crowdsourced, self-policing systems. It'll examine specific metrics, review the new tools available, and propose new industry standards.
