Bloggers Unite

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Well, once again I’m sitting at my desk thinking about the previous night’s London Bloggers meetup. And once again I’m feeling rather smug thinking ‘I organised that’, because it was another really great night. We had a fair few new faces and a handful of regulars - if you can call someone a regular after three events, but none the less they were there in spades*.

Interesting to learn last night that blogging is far more established in France. The bloggers meetups on Paris are more hedonistic, running into the wee small hours. Next time you’re over there it might be worthwhile looking one of these parties up. I also heard some fairly disparaging remarks about the iPhone and Paul McCartney - I thought everyone loved both of these..!

Good to see Tim Dickinson last night of Plummet Onions fame. He was the lucky winner of Qype’s competition for a case of wine. Looks like Qype may be back on board for the next meetup which means more competitions and more free beers! Woo hoo!

Well, thanks to everyone who came along last night. I may organise the bloggers meetup, but it’s those of you who attend that make them so interesting. Please come again. I want to make this blog more interactive and any suggestions welcome. Of course, you could start by adding a few comments!

For those who signed in I’ll add you to the blogroll when I get a spare moment. Oh and here are some of the photos from last night!

Thanks everyone, see you all on the 25th March!

    Thanks for a great night, met some wonderful people! Was inspired too to seperate my personal blog from my specialist subject - so am currently working on a whole new one and it’s all down to you! :) Best of luck for the next one, hope to be there x

    Thanks for another good social with new people to meet. I’ve added some more photos from last night onto the flickr group:

    Thanks for another great evening Andy - quite different from the last one but loads of fun too. Glad to see so many people with Mini MOO cards spreading the love :-)
