Yesterday I donated $1000 to BloggerCon III. That's a pretty big chunk of cash for a one-person company such as my own, but given the combined brain-power of the people attending BloggerCon, I'm willing to bet I'll earn an extra $1000 over the next year from ideas and knowledge gained at the conference.
Plus, I like the concept of BloggerCon, in that it asks those who benefit most from the conference to give more. Given that I make money from RSS and blogging, it's only fair that I chip in.
Does that mean you'll get to attend BloggerCon after all? ;)
I'm loving FeedDemon... I'll be purchasing it shortly!

Never mind, I just saw your update. That's good news!
(FeedDemon doesn't seem to download updates! ;))

Great!
And with that your a primary sponsor! So you bascially get free advertising out of it aswell.
And shows that FeedDemon is a powerful and popular program if your willing to donate that much from a solo-person company.
Good Going Hope BloggerCon goes good for ya!

Nick: I donated $200 out of my own pocket because I believe the work that Dave and co are doing is very important. There is more work to do and I believe the adoption floodgates will open...great opportunity for software developers and entrepreneurs to add great value.
