There are cops and then there are Dragnet cops like Sgt. Joe Friday. Joe carries a L.A.P.D. badge. That’s why he’s here. Blogworld 2011 is coming to his beat.

(Cue music) Dum-de-dum-dum “The story you are about to read is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.”

This is the city. Los Angeles, California. I work here… I’m not a blogger, I’m a cop. On November 3-5 bloggers, vloggers, podcasters, and tweeter from around the blogosphere will descend upon the city. The reason? They want to grow their audience, business, and brand.

Just the facts, Ma’am:

Johnson and Johnson is sponsoring the Social Health Track for the third year in a row. The three-day track will include 8 sessions, so there’s something for everyone. There’s word out on the street that Kim McAllister from Emegiblog , Jamie Davis, AKA The Podmedic, from The Nursing Show, and some dame named Terri Polick, AKA Motherjonesrn, are coming to the expo. Details are sketchy, but I hear that they are going to present information that will keep health care professionals on the right side of the law when it comes to HIPAA. I like law-abiding citizens.

There are over 5,000 men in this city, who know that being a policeman is an endless, glamourless, thankless job that’s gotta be done. I know it, too, and I’m damn glad to be one of them. Maybe I should blog about it. I’ll see you at Blogworld.
