Another Gnomedex past

August 12, 2007 By

Look at all those computers!

This is still the iconic image for me of Gnomedex. Most of these people, when asked by Guy Kawasaki, admitted to being on Twitter. Yes, Gnomedex is a chat room disguised as a conference. :-)

Seriously, lots of fun. As usual the hallway conversations were awesome. Met geeks from diverse companies like General Motors, Netflix, and HP. More on HP in a moment.

This week I’m going to be a little light on posting. I’m still in Seattle for the next two days, giving a talk to Kathy Gill’s class on Tuesday night. Looking to interview interesting companies and people on Tuesday.

Oh, and thank you to everyone who threw in something for the Gnomedex Baby Shower. I had absolutely no idea you all were going to do that for me. Thank you to Ponzi and Chris for putting that together. It really was special.

    Robert, maybe you could defend your mentor Dave Winer against nasty attacks from Jason Calacanis ? — when you write about Gnomedex 2007 …

    CSB I can’t see where he is defending him, just ignoring Dave’s childish outbursts and hoping nobody asks any awkward questions by the look of it. Wouldn’t want to be next eh Robert?

    That’s my point, R! Robert should defend Winer… but apparently it looks like seeing that Calacanis could employ Robert after he will get fired by Podtech, but Winer not, Robert keeps away from it.

    Robert: you should write what you think about Winer-Calacanis debacle from gnomedex2007! Keeping mum only pisses off Winer.

    If you read my Twitter account at http://www.twitter.com/scobleizer I said plenty on the topic of what Calacanis said at Gnomedex. No need to say more.

    Was great to finally meet you, Robert. That was some good Jazz, eh? :-) (Dammit, talking like a Canadian now).

    Robert, I had problems to find relevant comments about it this issue on your Twitter – I just look at it and I don’t read it continously.

    Robert, not everybody has time to do, like you: bloginig, v-logging, nano-blogging, photo-blogging… etc and only this blog here – scobleizer.com is the only one that I can follow. Maybe some summary from Twitter posted here would be useful?

    Less people read your Twitter than Scobleizer.com !!!!

    If you’re not willing to do your homework why speak out in the first place? It’s there. The people who it matters to saw it.
