Animal Café spoke with the founding team (well, most of the team) that created BlogPaws, the website and the pet blogger conference, to help bloggers, pets, vets, businesses, “want to be” social media hounds and pet lovers help animals and get where they want to go with whatever project they are working on.
Caroline Golan, Yvonne DiVita and her husband recovering lawyer Tom Collins met for the first time at a BlogHer conference.  They were all impressed with the way that conference worked to help bloggers be better bloggers and the opportunities presented for businesses and bloggers to get together.  Caroline, with her background in fundraising for shelters at her blog Romeo The Cat, approached Yvonne, who she knew through her Lipsticking blog on marketing to women online and women’s issues, and asked why was there was nothing like this for pet bloggers?  Yvonne and Tom agreed this was a great idea, and so Blogpaws was born and the first pet blogger conference was off to the races.
This is one of the great reasons to go to conferences – things happen when you meet the people behind the blog!
