Calling Sydney bloggers: come and meet the team!

Blogs and user generated content account for the majority of information on the net -- Blogger alone has more than 300 million active readers. As a community, we bloggers are heterogeneous: there are as many types of blogs as there are people, and as many different subjects as there are ideas. We are all, however, united by a common goal: we want to express ourselves and in so doing, change the world.

This year, Blogger celebrates 11 years of helping us do just that: putting the power of internet expression in the hands of anyone with a connection, and fostering communities around ideas and common goals. At their best, bloggers enable effective and very passionate social networks, foster education, enable political, artistic, and cultural debate, and generate conversation and involvement that result in positive impact to the world. Simply put, bloggers care. We care enough to say something with every post.

We’re celebrating Blogger’s 11th birthday with a veritable fiesta of Meetups all around the world.

We have a growing Blogger engineering team at the Google Sydney office, and we’d love to meet local bloggers in this area, hear about your experiences blogging, desires for the future, and get candid feedback on the things that are (and aren't!) working for you. We'd also like all of you to meet each other, and get to know this group of Aussies united by a common passion.

We hope you can come along to our very own 'Blogger Fiesta' meetup in the Google Sydney office on August 31st at 6:30pm. And, yes, since this is a Birthday party, please be assured cake will be served. We're looking forward to meeting you!
