A Big Thanks To Ypulse Sponsors & Partners

Just back from Toronto where I was having a familiar conversation with fellow bloggers about how Ypulse makes money. I get this question all the time, followed by the suggestion that I become a marketing consultant and create original research. I refer to myself as an "accidental marketer" for a reason — my background is in writing and journalism, not business or marketing. Whatever insight I have that helps marketers is purely instinctual. I also don't like being told what to do (my inner teen rebel) and most consulting tends to be very service oriented unless you're a big ideas guru who can go in and just share your theory on how everything should work. Instead, I've gone the building a media brand mode, which any of you who work for media brands know, may not be quite as lucrative as selling syndicated reports or consulting, but is supported by website and conference sponsors and conference attendees.

That's a big preamble for a post where I wanted to thank our site and conference sponsors as well as our conference partners who are helping us to get the word out about the 2008 Mashup in July. All of these guys are helping to provide your free Ypulse daily updates as well as helping to fund our growth.
