The BlogWorld Expo has ended, and most of its participants have found their way home from Las Vegas. Now, for those who either didn't make it to the city or had so much fun that the details are a little hazy, we'll try to sum up some of the conference's main points.

One of the gathering’s central themes – the idea that social media is becoming both popular and omnipresent – is somewhat supported by the meeting’s tagline “world’s largest blogging and new media conference.” Dave Taylor, a keynote speaker, lent additional credence to the theory by suggesting that “everyone’s a media channel.”

Later the same day, Don Crowther added his voice to the mix by giving tips about using social media to drive traffic. A report on “The State of the Blogosphere” was positive, several speakers talked about blogging as a business, and Deborah Micek took things to an even more tangible level with a discussion about building “a million dollar business without ever leaving your island.” Sounds like fun, right?
