Sydney Blog party, Friday 12 September 2008

Posted by John Lampard on Wednesday, 3 September, 2008 to the events subset

Let’s get networking and socialising.

A drinks gathering for bloggers in Sydney is on in The Arthouse Hotel’s Gallery Bar next Friday, 12 September, from 5pm.

A contraction of the words “blog” and “meet”. The word “Blogmeet” is thought to have come into common usage around 2006, when Homo sapiens sapiens came to the realisation that their shared habit of reading and commenting on a blog, or Weblog, could also serve as the foundation for the re-introduction of a then near-to-extinct H. s. sapiens habit of a physical social gathering, or “meeting”.

Skip down to the second comment of this blog post for further details of the blogmeet. Hmm, that would be the Sydney Morning Herald agony aunt “Ask Sam” blog…

(Thanks Peter)
