Blogger Social
April 7, 2008
This thing happened over the weekend. It was called Blogger Social where some of your favorite ad bloggers came to play: Greg Verdino, Tangerine Toad, Joseph Jaffe, Rohit Bhargava, Tara Anderson, et al converged in New York City to be well, social. No, no. We weren’t invited. That’s cool. You know… We’re not joiners anyway, so yeah.. we don’t care. Nope. Don’t care at all.
The event was a chance for blogger and social media freaks to meet up face to face and chat. What makes the event unique is that is 100% funded by registration fees, nets 0% profits and all planning time from the community is 100% donated. It’s a purely social event. Not a conference. Just fun – social media ad biz style. You can see photos of the event here.

Spy…
You’re in good company. They didn’t invite me either. Apart from Toad and Joe Jaffe, I never heard of any of these fucking people. Favorite ad bloggers my arse. From the look of the pictures, looks like a load of douchenozzles. You and I will do our own next year.
Cheers/George

Can I come too? We’ll throw down someone’s corporate credit card, go to Nobu, get a few cases of Effen-Effen, rent a Aston Martin and do it up “Draft-style”!

George: That’s because they’re NOT ad bloggers. They’re mostly marketing, PR, corporate, social media, and all other sorts of related bloggers. Good people all, so no need for name calling. Just not AD people. (Which, if you ask me, is positive attribute for the most part.)
Not having you and Spy was an oversight though I am sure the sponsors will not make next time.

There were no invitations. I simply read about the event and signed up. And believe me, I’m quite aware of the fact that I”m a nobody.

Hey now Tara – you’re not a nobody until someone says you’re a nobody. Oh wait. Umm… Anyway, very true – this was not an ‘invite only’ event. It was open to anyone who blogs about marketing and had enough jingle in their pockets to afford the ticket. Would have loved to meet you there Spy, so hopefully next time. And I’m glad that I’m one of YOUR favorites at least.
