ProBlogger Meetup
Monday, June 11, 2007
For those who are just getting into blogging, Darren Rowse of ProBlogger writes a fine column on how to do exactly that. They hosted a night out in the Upper West Side over the weekend that I was lucky enough to attend. (Note to the tavern proprietors: please refer to the the basement of Gin Mill as the Gin Mill, and not a separate bar called the Speakeasy as Google Maps does not yet have an underground view. Thanks.) As I am sure my illustrious colleague Mike Levin will be writing his own writeup of Saturday's event on our HitTail blog, I thought I would post my notes on our sister site so we cover both bases! Unfortunately Darren was quite swamped with adoring fans, so I didn't get to introduce myself but I did get to meet Shai Coggins from b5 media who was nice enough to give me a sporty new T-shirt. I spent the most time talking with a very cool Dutchman, Peter Verkooijen, who hosts the Web2NewYork meetup. I look forward to hearing your feedback on HitTail's Nederlands interface! Chris Conley is on a journey that I'm sure I'll be reading along with at Startup or Bust. I met my first Huffington Post blogger, Alex Geana, who was far too modest about the importance of said publication. Jim Cortina was probably the funniest man there, and I have already found some useful applications thanks to Nick O'Neill from AllFacebook. It was great meeting you all and if any of you happen to be interested in AJAX and the future of search, I encourage you to come check out our own Search Engine Superpowers Meetup tomorrow!
