Hi Matt, nice post and great summary thanks! I don’t actually work for STA Travel – I run STA travelbuzz – but that is a nit picky detail! Great to see so many people there and may there be plenty more to come

Hi Jared.
I only started this blog a coulpe of months ago, so fairly new to it myself and not the best person to ask. But I’ll have a go…
I think travel blogging, in the purest sense, is someone on the move keeping an online journey to let friends and family know they’re safe. As the debate towards the end of the evening veered off towards PRs, corporate blogging and journalism, it all got a bit confusing.
But the issues raised (I think) were more about the role of blogging in the travel industry, and bloggers’ integrity when writing about destinations/travel companies etc…

Thanks for comment Alex.
And to quote (retweet?) Jeff Jarvis: ” @timoreilly I’m now reversing the flow: twittering less, blogging more.”

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the quick summary. I didn’t get a chance to meet you at travel blog camp, but I’m notoriously bad at networking so that’s not a surprise. I enjoyed the evening, but what I was missing is how travel blogging is different from other blogging? Or is it the same approach with different content? Nobody really answered this for me. Since you took notes (and I didn’t) I’m wondering if I missed something here.
