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 ?

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.

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?
