[NB: Robert Scoble’s Blo­groll is here.]
I had a really good time at the Lon­don Geek Din­ner two nights ago. Always great to see the Sco­bles again, and nothing else I know gets so many Bri­tish blog­gers and geeks in a sin­gle room quite so cheap & easily. So, a roun­dup:
1. Hugh Fra­ser did a really good pod­cast inter­view of Sco­ble and I, around 20 minu­tes long.
2. Simon Cast took some pho­tos of the event here.
3. More pho­tos here.
4. Kudos to my client, Stormhoek for spon­so­ring the com­pli­men­tary wine, and for Sam Sethi of MSN for spon­so­ring 50% of the food cover charge. Next time, he tells me Mic­ro­soft will spon­so­ring 100% of the cover charge, which is very good news for tight-fisted types like myself.

    Thanks for orga­ni­sing another great night, Hugh. Once again I got to see some of the peo­ple I read and got to meet some new peo­ple to read… How was the cham­pagne bar?

    I don’t get the infa­tua­tion with robert sco­ble. So a mic­ro­soft emplo­yee blogs, so what? I’m sure he is an inte­lli­gent nice fellow, but his blog lately is filled with little more than per­so­nal stuff that is no more inte­res­ting than a sani­ta­tion wor­kers blog. Plus I thought we were all sup­po­sed to be infa­tua­ted with Fire­fox and Google/Yahoo and were shun­ning all things Mic­ro­soft because IE doesn’t con­form to web stan­dards, who are their blog­gers?
    At least with Gaping­void we get good advice and a con­sis­tent mes­sage about how the world of mar­ke­ting should be. Keep up the good work.

    I must say it was very pro­vo­ca­tive for me to be at a spon­so­red geek­din­ner. I don’t mind Stormhoek, because I got to know in advance that they are spon­so­ring ? but mic­ro­soft ? half the bill ? and they got to speak ?
    I knew Robert was there to speak.. but msn.co.uk ?
    I am a bit disap­poin­ted because I am so sick and tired of every­body spon­so­ring the “hip” blo­gosphere.
    I thought geek­din­ners were peo­ple mee­ting peo­ple with no inten­tions what so ever except net­wor­king..
    any­way the danish geek­din­ners will never have spon­sors, I would rather pay for my eve­ning myself and know that no spon­sor is trying to sell me something
    in my opi­nion. the only peo­ple there who is trying to sell me something are like­min­ded geeks who are pas­sio­nate about this.
    so what dif­fers a geek­din­ner for a mic­ro­soft party then ?

    Hen­riette, if you REALLY objec­ted, you would have refu­sed to accept the
