Seattle Blogger Meetup Hosted By KOMO4
Photos from the event are over on Flickr.
A few weeks ago I received an invite to a Seattle blogger meetup from Chris Pirillo. I normally don’t head over to Seattle for these things as the 45 minutes stuck in traffic on the bridge is more than I can generally handle.
However, this time the meetup was being hosted by KOMO4, the local ABC affiliate - we’d get to take a look at the studios!
This invite was, of course, too much for this humble blogger to pass up, so at 5.30pm on Thursday, I headed into the mess that is I-520 and onwards to Fisher Plaza in Seattle. Btw, did you know that Fisher Plaza houses one of the best data centers in the area?
After the requisite 45 minutes of hell, I arrived and almost immediately bumped into Chris, who was walking into the building as I was taking photos. I say walking, but he was also streaming live video at the same time…
Anyhow, the event was pretty cool. The control room was pretty impressive and the news studio was smaller than I had imagined.
I spoke to a few of the hundred or so people there and the most interesting insight that I came away with was that there are way more non-tech bloggers out there than tech bloggers. The only tech blogger I spoke with was Mr Pirillo…
A good event, with good food.
I’m looking forward to the next one.
