Stray Toaster announces a CampFire meeting for the Northern Ireland Blogerati.
CampFire I find interesting as it’s some of those smart 37signals people who’ve wrapped IRC in a web GUI and put a big “Chat for Business” label on it. Other than that – why bother? It’s enchanted some people (you know, the kind who use IRC already) and I suppose it’s for the best. IRC is a nasty place filled with bots and software with awful interfaces.
Who are these Northern Ireland Blogerati?
Having a look at the CampFire it seems to be the local LUG with a few extra names I don’t recognise. How’s that for self-promotion?
The concept of Northern Ireland Blogerati I find to be one of those facinating oxymorons.
A local encyclopaedia defines:
Northern Ireland – A technological and cultural desert. See also “Lurgan”
Blogerati – The BlogoSphere Intelligentsia.
See what I mean?
