Darren – I too felt that your presentation was extremely well-received as I mentioned to you later. I think there was a grand total of 3 speakers who actually got some sort of “reaction” from the crowd during their speeches, and you were one of them.

Aside from that, I think I brought your flu home with me. LOL I lost my voice somewhere at the Speakeasy and it hasn’t quite found it’s way home yet. I’m not complaining though – it was well worth it to spend time with you and everyone else there! :)

It was nice meeting you there, and hopefully not getting your flu. It doesn’t look like I will be heading to the meetup tonight even though I do love free drinks, or drink.

It was a pleasure meeting you and getting some words of wisdom.

Thanks for mentioning ‘Serge the Concierge’.

I wrote a couple of other FOOA related stories since then.

Hope your flu fades away.

Have a good week-end

Since entering the blogging world, and in passing mentioning this second career path to other people, I find that even here in the US, people aren’t very forward thinking. They can’t fathom how you can make money on the internet, to most it’s still a form of entertainment. I don’t mind that they think so though, shopping and entertainment make up for the majority of revenue from the internet, so I’m just throwing my hat in, someday I’ll have advertisors, but I think maybe I’m still too new…

That general disconnect between business and bloggers is because after al, bloggin is a non traditional way of ad. In my country, whatever is not a “traditional way” is somehow not accepted.

Well Darren..

I know the feeling of getting sick while been in the midle of something big… It sucks honestly but.. what can you do?

Darren -

Your presentation was informative, entertaining, and from where I was sitting, very well received. I think there is a general disconnect between business and bloggers (like men and women?). They look at the world a little differently and often assign significance to different things. Your presentation really did help bridge that gap!
