London Geek Dinner

It was great to hear about the London Geek Dinner and to hear Robert Scobel talk about blogging.

My name is not Robert

Went off to the geek dinner on Tuesday night with 200 or so other people and had a great time. It was held just of Trafalgar Square at a Tex-Mex venue, and I get the feeling the poor people downstairs…

Protection not necessary.
I”ll imagine MS to be different to many companies YET people are not.
You always have people liking to open up things, and others to keep things closed down, all in their own rights and w/ good reasons.
If you”re playing strongly in one field, people in “the other” field might feel their principles ot be strongly threatened.
Only “good” communication can alter this.
EnjoyLife&ShareIt,

Microsoft _isn’t_ one of the largest companies in the world. Don’t be another of those that mistakes their influence for actual size.
It may be one of the most influential, and it is definitely one of the most overvalued, but it is nowhere near the size of the world’s largest companies.
As an example, Microsoft’s entire turnover for a year is less than IBM’s gross profit, and IBM is not one of the worlds largest companies either, at least not in the top ten!

Robert doesn’t need protection. He is doing things that flow with the Microsoft way not against it. Yes, it is staggering that a lowish-level employee can make such a huge, tangible difference to one of the largest companies in the world. But Microsoft is no ordinary large company. The belief that a lowish-level employee can make a difference is why I joined Microsoft and why I stay at Microsoft.

Shindig!

Some notes from my dinner with the bloggers and assorted hangers-on last night, hosted by Robert Scoble (who may think I’ve been stalking him at these gatherings, having shown up at one in New York last month) and Hugh MacLeod: [Scoble, a cornfed Ameri…

I’m on my way to Denmark for Reboot after spending the day with IBM and some very smart people.

Good for you! I attended the geek fest in NYC with only half as many people, so to play host to over 200 fine blogger is a challenge to say the least.
You’re spon on with, “…large companies have PLENTY of internal membranes as well. And during Robert’s sppech it suddenly dawned on me- how Robert’s work is changing Microsoft INTERNALLY is by far the bigger story.”
I’ve been tryin to tell ya that is what we are doing with – Ideascape.
