Josh,
Great idea and it looks like Connect might bite! Don’t you love it when you blog about something and the CEO reponds??
I’m a Connect reader & writer and very interested in Utah companies. I was referred to your blog today. I’ll have to add it to the Bloglines and/or blogroll.
I will soon have blogging as part of my job description which is pretty exciting.
Hope to talk to you about U|Tech, my entrepreneurial launch. It’s an internet marketing for businesses conference. http://www.utechconference.com. I think your audience would be interested…
Best
Janet

Thanks to Russell for sending me the link to Josh for the great ideas. Connect has actually been working on something the last few months and I can’t say anything in public until I know it’s going to fly or not (will know soon), but we hope to soon publish highlights from and links to current Utah bloggers – (and also new bloggers writing for us) both online and in the printed magazine.

Josh, you bring up some interesting thoughts that I’ll be sure to consider. In fact, as soon as I can (one to two weeks tops) I want to run the plan past you and see what kind of input you have.

I think Connect has a few things up its sleeves right now, but I’m not sure exactly what all of it is.

I also think it would be a great idea for Connect to link to business-related blogs in Utah. I talked to some Connect staff at one of the Fight Club dinners and it seemed like they were toying with the idea of doing something like that, but I think hey were trying to get bloggers to write specifically for them (rather than syndicating).

Anyway, if they would like a business version of the Utah Open Source Planet (http://openclue.org/ut/) I would be happy to help set it up.

This is a great idea: what great exposure for Connect Magazine and an excellent way to reach out and get “connected” to a large technology and business community, of which most of its members have a blog.
