BlogHer was one of our favorite conferences of 2006. Why? Beause it was different. You had mommy bloggers talking with tech bloggers and political bloggers. There’s a myth that there aren’t many bloggers who are women and BlogHer is going to explode that myth — last year, nearly 1,000 bloggers attended BlogHer. Here, Maryam and me have a conversation with BlogHer co-founders Lisa Stone, Elisa Camahort and Jory Des Jardins about blogging trends and their plans for the 2007 BlogHer event in Chicago.

Pandora is one of my favorite Internet services. It lets you build a customized radio station by starting with the names of your favorite bands and songs. It then brings you more music that’s similar to that. Here Pandora’s CTO, Tom Conrad, talks about the service, demos its new mobile service, and discusses new legislation under discussion that is designed to help keep Internet radio alive. For those who don’t know, Tom explains how the music industry is threatening to decimate Internet Radio providers by charging new, much higher, fees than regular radio has to pay to broadcast music. We have an interesting discussion about that while walking around San Francisco on a Saturday afternoon.
