Review: Blogger’s Dinner

• Posted by Steve Spencer

Article posted on Mar 26

Thursday night I was pleased to be included in a local Blogger get together.  Very informal, frienly, and informative.  Among other topics, everyone was buzzing about Twitter.  For those who have not seen my opinion on Twitter, you can see one of my recent posts here.  Rather you like twitter or hate twitter, one thing cannot be denied: if those who are really getting visibility, and being read ont he internet are psyched about it, it cannot be ignored.  If you view Twitter as a way to distribute digital data, and allow people to consume it in whatever form they want (IM, SMS, etc), without any cost to you, and even allow this through an API, so that literally any application or eent can feed the content, then it is a pretty powerful concept.

But this is not a Twitter post… so back to the dinner.

My take: good social event if you really want to blog, and see who is blogging.  Really nice people.  They were very accepting of those of us that were there for the first time.  Definitely worthwhile in making connections with people who can teach an awful lot on the subject.  My thanks to them for including me.
