George Nemeth
Brewed Fresh Daily

George Nemeth is at the vortex of the Internet world in this region, a vortex he has helped create. As top technical guru for Cool Cleveland, he's kept our links, videos and podcasts tweaked so our readers can click on all the coolest stuff as fast as we can get it up on the server. As founder of Brewed Fresh Daily, this coffee connoisseur has exhibited leadership and a synergetic spirit which have brought unity to an often disparate and sometimes contentious regional blogsphere. By allowing a select number of other bloggers to not only comment, but actually post to BFD, it has gained the widest readership of the hundreds of regional blogs focused on economic development. His innovative Meet The Bloggers brings together a loose affiliation of independent bloggers to conduct interviews with politicians and business influencers, recording them for hour-long podcasts. Cool Cleveland's Thomas Mulready finally turns the camera on George, and you can catch him live in person on Thu 11/1 at 5:30PM at the no-cost Meet The Bloggers Forum at Cleveland State University. http://www.BrewedFreshDaily.com




Jim Kukral
Blog Marketing Expert

Jim Kukral is one of four Cleveland-area online social networking experts invited to speak at the upcoming BlogWorld Expo in Las Vegas on 11/8-9/07, the others being Cool Cleveland's George Nemeth, who started BrewedFreshDaily.com, Eric Olsen, who runs BlogCritics.org, and Cool Cleveland's Thomas Mulready, making Northeast Ohio one of the most heavily represented regions at this largest blog conference in the world, and a center for blog culture. In this age of over 70 million blogs, with over 120K new blogs being created each day, a full 22% of the Top 100 web destinations are blogs. Kukral's session at BlogWorld Good to Great: Blogging and Profit Potential, offers suggestions on how to turn the garden variety blog into a money maker. And making money from your blog, directly through cash sales or advertising, or indirectly through the marketing of your existing business, is a specialty of Kukral, who consults locally and whose two blogs, AskTheBlogger and JimKukral.com are read internationally. Kukral answers a lot of questions in this video interview on the Superior Viaduct with Cool Cleveland's Thomas Mulready, such as, What is a blog? How can I make money with my blog? and How can I use my blog to better market my business? http://www.AskTheBlogger.com and http://www.JimKukral.com




Eric Olsen
Blog Critics

Eric Olsen has accomplished what many feel was quite near impossible. He's corralled over 2000 bloggers nationwide, akin to herding cats, allowing them to contribute dozens of daily reviews and commentary to his Blog Critics site, attracting over 2 million viewers each month. Covering topics such as books, music, culture, TV, film, sports, gaming, sci/tech, and politics, Blog Critics is part magazine, part media organization, and part social network. Their 50+ editors pull in over 240 RSS feeds, exemplifying the principles of citizen journalism, distributed content and link aggregation. Eric has a respected background in this town, publishing Networking In the Music Industry with Jim Clevo, and The Encyclopedia of Record Producers with Paul Verna and Carlo Wolff. Cool Cleveland's Thomas Mulready catches Eric as he discusses his phenomenal online success and how he will preview his BlogWorld Vegas presentation at the Meet The Bloggers Forum on Thu 11/1 at 5:30PM at CSU. http://www.BlogCritics.org
