more stormhoeky goodness…
Stormhoek 100 Geek Dinners Update from Jason:
So, 4 days into it and we are about 22% there. That a lot better than I expected— but we are still a long way from 100. So far, based just on the wiki we’ve got dinners happening in: New York City, Cincinatti, Mountain Home Arizona, San Mateo, Seattle, Madison, Pittsfield, Ypsilanti, Flagstaff, Bellingham, Wa., Denver and a bunch of Canadians who we have no idea how we are going to help out.… but standby cause we are working on it.
All those who have written in, asking to join in the 100 Geek Dinners thing: Thanks for your interest. I’m utterly psyched by your response. I’ll be forwarding along the e-mails I’ve received so far to Stormhoek today (driving the total to much higher than 22%), so please keep them coming. Seriously.
I don’t know how closely the two are related, but it seems the more I get into the Stormhoek thing, the more interested I get in the whole Web 2.0 thing.
I never was a techie or a coder. But as a blogger, they’re around me a lot. Eventually their cultural DNA starts to rub off on me. And rub off on my clients, Stormhoek especially.
Frankly, I think it’s a good thing. The more non-techies that are using blogs to transform their lives and businesses, the more non-techies are understanding Web 2.0 better, the happier I am. If Web 2.0 had just stayed an internet/techie thing, it wouldn’t have scaled.
And that would have meant a lot less money and opportunity for everyone, techies included.
Rock on.
Linky thinking, I’ve called it .. ever notice how you keep a bunch of links about stuff you’ve read / seen in your head, ready to spout out, when you’re yakking to people about this stuff ?
