'Social Media Is a Blogger's Best Friend,' Says BlogHer Co-Founder

What do you call thousands of women all working together to create content and share their knowledge? You call them the backbone of BlogHer, an organization that creates opportunities for women through social media. About 5,000 bloggers gathered in New York City recently for the 8th annual BlogHer conference. During the three-day event, bloggers came together to meet, exchange ideas, and learn from each other, and from speakers such as Martha Stewart and Katie Couric.


You could say domestic diva Martha Stewart is quite the rock star. Five thousand mom, garden and food bloggers welcomed her as the keynote speaker at the annual BlogHer conference in New York City, eager to hear her thoughts on blogging and social media. And she delivered. "I love Twitter," she told the crowd. "It just made sense to me." Stewart allowed as to how she tries to limit the amount of time she spends on the social network each day, instead trying to tweet everything all at once.
