Meetin' up
Sorry I'm only now getting around to blogging this, but I was delighted to see both familiar and (to me) new faces at this past Wednesday night's blogger meetup. One of the side benefits of events such as this is getting to add links to "Bloggers I know in real life," such as PotatoStew and Cara Michele.
For those of you who weren't there, I repeated my standing invitation to members of the community to partner with N&R staff on stories that interest you, and I took several good questions in response to that invitation. I also had a good talk with Sue about how to build up a group of people interested in this kind of work, along the lines of the old Triad Internet Users Group. And I had a brief conversation, definitely to be continued, with man-about-Web 2.0 Sean Coon, who, unbeknown to me, moved to Greensboro a few months back.
More -- much more, I hope -- to come.

Sean was interested. I am interested. Nuff said?

It was good to see you, Lex. :) I'm intrigued by the N&R's blogger partnership idea and I'm interested to see where it goes.

Sue: I'm in. So we need to talk more.
CM: If I may say this without getting an ugly letter from Microsoft's lawyers, where do you want to take it? :-)

It was nice to see you there Lex, and good to know that you guys are serious enough about the partnership offer that you're actively seeking out participation like that.

We're tryin', PS, we're tryin'. As I said above, Sue has some ideas about how we might reach out even more effectively to people who might be interested in doing this, and I'm going to be discussing those with her in more detail. Sales and marketing, as my late father the salesman could have told you, are not my strengths. :-)

i've been in greensboro -- and at blogsboro meetings -- for almost 7 months now, but who's counting? ;) i'm looking forward to talking more about the ideas on the table...

I thought Lex knew me in real life, too (he said, dabbing a tear from his eye).

Sorry about that, Patrick -- when I reloaded Blog on the Run, a few people in my blogroll accidentally got omitted. But you're back now. :-)
