Eric is attributed with the knack for recognizing potential early on in a company and then leading them to success. Eric is currently partner at Lerer Ventures.

Eric joins Guy Kawasaki on the board and we are looking forward to their guidance , perspective and wisdom as Paper.li continues to grow and evolve its services in the curation space.

Paper.li at BlogWorld Expo New York

Since our launch a year ago, Paper.li has grown from a service of just a few users turning their Twitter timelines into daily newspapers, to one that analyzes over 12million links a day in 8 languages for publishers and viewers world-wide.

A large, and growing portion of that content comes from bloggers around the world. So in our quest to get to know our community better ( and in person ) we are headed to the BlogWorld Expo, at the Javits Convention Center in NYC, May 24 - 26.

For those of you who are not familiar with BlogWorld, it's the largest new media conference world-wide that brings together social media thought leaders, bloggers, entrepreneurs, podcasters and content creators all under one roof. 3 days of workshops and panels take place where bloggers and new media peers and professionals get together to learn, share and exchange ideas.

We are proud to be a Bronze sponsor again this year and look forward to meeting, and seeing our community and industry peers there.

If you are attending the conference, stop by and see us at Booth 510. You can check out what is happening on the BlogWorld Daily Daily throughout the expo and you can stay up current on the BlogWorld blog.
