BlogHer: Geeks Nirvana

Patrick Scoble, It is weird being one of only three men in a sea of people at a party. Now I know what it feels like at a usual tech conference, albeit in reverse. And the hugging? Well, this crowd definitely has a different social contract than most of the tech geek things I attend. Leaving BlogHer for a minute, today I attended (and moderated a couple of demo-style sessions) the Dave.TV, which looks interesting but is way too slow to keep my attention. The reason he showed it to me is Stewart Butterfield (co-founder of Flickr, now at Yahoo) dropped by the table that Steve Gillmor and I were hanging out at (sorry, I'm so BORED by speeches that come with PowerPoints and hearing Steve explain why links and Office are dead is infinitely more interesting) and told me some tantalizing new things that his team is working on. Of course I immediately asked if I could come over with my new soooopppppeeeerrrrr dooooopppppeeerrrr video cameras (sorry, Christopher Coulter, I got a Sony, not the Panasonic you recommended, cause I couldn't justify the extra $2,000 and cause I like the Sony) and someone at the table said "oh, so you're gonna do Channel 9 for the rest of the world now, huh?" Damn, caught me. Oh, and if you're waiting for me to answer your email. Keep waiting. I didn't do any email today and the pile just gets deeper and deeper. I'm already two weeks behind on email. Not good. But, then, I'm on vacation, and too busy trying to keep up with Maryam (who dragged Patrick and I to two furniture places after the BlogHer speaker shindig tonight). What else is on my attention radar today? Wiki's! But, not ready to talk about them. Damn, though, lots of you are really interested in them. That post generated a lot of email and phone calls. All of which are greatly appreciated. Anyway, all around me tonight I heard great business opportunities. Especially for video bloggers. I'm gonna stay quiet on this one, though, cause I see some opportunities no one else has bothered doing yet. More to come from BlogHer over the next few days, I'm sure, the tag to watch is David Allen! If you're at BlogHer, say hi! I won't be hard to find. I'm the blonde. Heheh. Scobleizer blog. He works as Scobleizer
