Linked in Group for the Security Bloggers Network and other SBN news

2008-03-04 22:35:43 by ashimmy in StillSecure, After All These Years

Sbn I wanted to give a quick update on happenings with the Security Bloggers Network. The network continues to grow and is now 125 blogs strong, with a combined FeedBurner subscriber base approaching 50,000 subscribers! A couple of other pieces of news:

1. Marko Ruotsalainen from Liquid Info suggested to me that I create a group in Linked In for the SBN members to join and allow us to share our contacts as another way of providing benefit to the members of the network. So I took Marko's suggestion and have started a group in Linked In. If you are a member of the SBN you can join by going to this link: http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/64292/58076562A6C7. Groups in Linked in are fairly new, so I am not sure what all the benefits of this will be, but will certainly look into it further. I welcome your suggestions on this as well.

2. Our big beta. As some of you know we are experimenting with the Intense Debate comment system with some of the key members of the network. Intense Debate offers many advantages over vanilla comment systems that come with most blogs. However, I am in discussions with the management there to add some special sauce features that will allow us to share comments across keywords throughout the network. This is something I have wished for since I first started the network and hope that ID can provide this functionality. In the meantime you can sign up for Intense Debate at their web site right now. It works pretty well and is free!

3. Security_bloggers_meetup_2008 Security bloggers RSA meet up. All members of the SBN should have received invites to the security bloggers meet up party at RSA. If you have not, please drop me a line at alan at stillsecure dot com. Also as I have mentioned, the RSA conference people have put up a blog about the bloggers meet up and you can stay on top of stuff there. I have written an article on who you would like to meet at the party and what would you ask them. With all of the virtual events going on, you can meet your favorite blogger and ask them what you want. Just leave a comment on the RSA site with your wishes.

The SBN is really becoming a powerhouse in the security blogging arena. If you have a security blog and are not yet a member, what are you waiting for? Drop me a line and join the fun!
