A few more tesitmonials and recaps…

Blogs With Balls: The Three Os And My New Peeps  (Fansided)

Even though we all seem to realize some of the immediate impact this event had on the blogosphere, we will likely never realize its full impact. I honestly think it changes things forever. It made a disjointed blogosphere connected in a way it has never been,  not to mention a way that likely scares the bejesus out of the mainstream sports media world.  You folks exceeded all expectations.

 BLOGS WITH BALLS and The Future of Sports Blogging  (Carrot Creative’s Carrot Blog)

…HHR Media Group [is] onto something big here. BwB facilitated great discussions and networking, and more of these types of events will surface. There’s no doubt that sports bloggers who attended the event came away recognizing the value in what they can learn from meeting with others who are in similar shoes. Tweetups, meetups, BwBups… A community of sports bloggers can and will unite.

New Media Strategies Attends Blogs with Balls (New Media Strategies)

To hear him tell it, the concept spawned from hanging out with some blogger friends and just shooting ideas around over a few beers. However, it’s obvious that much more work and thought was put into it than that. He and the rest of the team at HHR Media Group did a wonderful job organizing it and hopefully we can all look forward to many more years of this event.

The “Blogs with Balls” weekend (Red’s Army)

…I met a ton of great people that we will be bringing in to help add some quality content to our site. It really was a fantastic weekend.

Get a New Mazda (Free Darko)

The HHR crew deserve oodles of credit to pulling together and pulling off an event that kept changing and evolving.

Storming the Floor at Blogs With Balls 1.0 (Stormin’ the Floor)

The event was hosted by HHR Media, who did a spectacular job of integrating mainstream and new media personnel – not only on the panels, but also in the attendees.

Sports Blogging: Not (Necessarily) Just For Weirdos Anymore (Bostonist.com)

Panelists from large, established sites mixed with some from small independent sites, blog networks and “mainstream media” (though that definition doesn’t really work anymore, which was a large part of the discussion)…There are things sports blogs can be other than complements/needles in the side of traditional media.
