Local business bloggers launch yulbiz.org and extends model to Europe (4)
yulbiz, which started as a regular meetup for bloggers writing for business purposes, has now an official website and become an official organisation.
Like other similar meetups in Montreal, yulbiz uses the acronym yul — representing Montreal’s aiport code, and was started to extend online conversations between bloggers to an “offline” setting. The formula prooved to be popular, with profesionals in marketing, consultants, web entrerpreneurs, head of media and pr agencies attending the meetups.
The initiave sparked for instance the bloggers advertising network by Transcontinental Media, and it’s also the place where the co-founders of startup praized met. Their latest venture was publishing a book entitled “Pourquoi bloguer dans un contexte d’affaires”.
The initiative was so popular that it’s now also hosted in Quebec city, in Paris, Barcelona, Brussels and even Warsaw, in Poland. This is where yulbiz.org comes, as an organisation which would “manage” the growth, and also promote blogging, social media and networking.
Just to be picky, YUL is not an acronym, as the letters don’t stand for anything. It’s just a call sign.
hey kate,
that’s true. mea culpa
The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and ’skin’ the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.
Very interesting post. Couldn’t be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old bud. He always kept talking about this. I will send this post to him. Am sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing! :)
