      BlogParteeh 2007 Anecdotal

      27 Jan 2007

      Pretty interesting party (or I should really say "parteeh") last night in Makati. I thought it was pretty well-organized as far as events go, and although I couldn’t stay till the end of it (I bugged out right before dinner was served) I think the steering committee did a sterling job of keeping the thing moving at a good clip.

      I suppose my only issue with this — or any other party for that matter — is the relative shallowness of the conversations you tend to have. Now, I don’t mean that the people themselves are shallow, but the level of detail that you can afford to get into with each person is often frustratingly superficial. You skip from one conversation to the next without ever really having one that went beyond link-back jokes or Adsense clicks. Pretty much the only conversation I had that went into any level of detail was with Gail of Kutitots, and Markku of RebelPixel.

      That said, I do get that the whole point of a party is to meet a big bunch of people in one central place so you can pick and choose which ones you want to continue talking to after the event. So in that respect, I was reasonably successful. I did meet a whole bunch of very interesting people, after all.

      Pics all over the place by now, but check out Chris’ batch here.

        Hey I wanted to talk with you about Web 2.0, syndeo and stuff but my head was aching and spinning. Now since you talked with Gail and Markku… we should have a focused get-together :)

        Any sample of the back-link jokes? ;)

        Good luck in your Aussie project!

        Hi Luis. I agree with you. I find that the task ahead usually after networking events is to keep an effort to touch base by reading each other blogs and hopefuly that by next eyeball, you’ll have more to discuss. I think a lot of us have just seen each other’s blog for the first time or have posted any comment in it. Hopefully, the online communication builds-on after the partee. Cheers!

        Migs: Definitely!

        Regnard: I can’t recall the precise wording, but I do remember how everytime anyone said something mildly negative, someone would always retort “wala kang link sa ‘kin!”

        Janette: Exactly. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to catch you at the event, but since this is the first of many, I think we’ll have quite a few more opportunities to touch base :)

        That’s a great insight you have there. I guess we’ll need to have more of these Parteehs so that we all get to know each other more. And move into less superficial details.
