Sid here, and I'm writing up this podcast because Srini is busy preparing for his BlogWorld presentation next week. Before I get to what we cover in this special episode, I want to give a shout out to the BlogWorld team, including Deb, Rick, Dave, Lara, Chris, and everyone else who has been doing such a phenomenal job, as well as all the track leaders. Scroll down for information on the details of Sid and Srini's presentations, as well as the exact time and location we're speaking. In today's episode we break down:
