Human Interest Story on Blogging -- Absolutely Nothing To Do With The Bakken

The Atlantic leak here.

BlogHer is a network of bloggers that was founded in 2005 by Lisa Stone, Elisa Camahort Page, and Jory Des Jardins. They set up their first conference to prove to doubters that large numbers of women were blogging, though perhaps in a different way then men. Since then, they have continued to offer a yearly conference and expanded their offerings to include specialized conferences on food, health, and writing. Today, the 3,000 bloggers in their network receive 40 million unique pageviews per month, making them the top concentration of female bloggers on the Web, with the 3rd largest online food network.
