Digesting the geek dinner June 15, 2007
Posted by Andy Roberts in : social objects, London , trackbackOn Tuesday I went to a London Geek dinner, only the second I’ve ever attended. The first was last year with Chris Anderson on The Long Tail
Despite being distracted by the environment ( there was a big band practice in the adjoining room!) , Jyri captivated the assembled geeks and provoked serious discussion. This was no sales pitch but a clever analysis of what it is that makes the rising stars in the top 100 websites attract and retain growing numbers of participants. I listened carefully, but after a couple of glasses of red wine provided by Hugh Mcleod I didn’t manage to retain all of the carefully ordered points for instant recall when I got home. What a stroke of luck then, that Robin Hamman video blogged Jyri giving much the same talk at NMK the next day 
This is important stuff which takes a bit of digesting, so I decided to add a page on DARnet wiki to gather together my notes with the links to the video, slideshare, blogs etc.
The implications of applying the checklist to various projects I have an interest in are reasonably clear, but challenging. Exciting.
