Naked Conversations Launch Celebration

Robert Scoble & Shel Israel launched their new book last night at Mike Arrington's house in Atherton, California, with a crowd of 200+ bloggers, press, social media and Web 2.0 types. P2170050

The Foldera guys. Note Oliver on the left also writes MobileCrunch with Michael Arrington. Think all of your data organized instantly in a more efficient way. (generic description I know; but an accurate one in a dozen words - they'll be at eTech in a week. 

 

P2170001

Hey, Jeff, do you ever miss an event? P2170026 With VideoEggKevin Sladek and Buzz BruggemanRenee_kevin_and_buzz

 Nick Douglas with Scott Beale  P2170025_1

Dan Farber also made an appearance and has a camera that puts mine to shame.  P2170004 P2170002 Good group shot taken by Rafe Group_shot_taken_by_rafe Bloggers mixing with marketing - what has the world come to? P2170007  Kevin Werbach makes an appearance from the east coast P2170018 P2170012 It looks like Tantek from Technorati and Vassil from Blogtronix in the background. P2170014 Simply Hired's Dave McClure who wears 500 hats and subscribes to Dr. Seuss' "fun is good" philosphy.P2170023 With Oliver Starr (this is before we started losing feeling in our feet -- did I mention that it felt like a winter New England night last night?) P2170022 Rob Hof of BusinessWeek P2170036 Shel autographs a book P2170044_1 Blogging Crowd (okay, nearly, Liz Gannes is on the right) P2170003 Ted Rheingold was smarter than the rest of us - he wore a HAT, perhaps not a wool hat, but a HAT - did I mention that it felt like a New England winter night last night? P2170062 Tony Gentile with a Google mobile engineer P2170041 Stowe Boyd and Salim Ismail (both out from the east coast), with Robert Scoble. P2170066

Marc Canter and Irina Slutsky (note Marc Canter's coat and we're now inside -- a coat of this callibre was necessary) P2170065) Dave McClure again (that 500 hats & Simply Hired guy), me, Salim Ismail and Jennifer MyronukGroupshot Smile Gentleman P2170011Chris from Flock and Riya's Tara Hunt P2170027Arrington's lucky day - in the middle of a brunette (yeah, that's my natural, well, close to it :-) and a blonde. (yes, that's Jen again :-) She was filming the 'scene' when I arrived. P2170059 Despite it being an evening of honor for Scoble, he still gets roped in (yeah, by me :-) to see a demo of Sharpcast from Gibu Thomas and Allen Bush (of course they're a client if you haven't figured that out by now). I couldn't feel my feet by this point in the evening. P2170063 Great shot in the back corner of the tent (where one did NOT go to unthaw. Who's in this photo anyway?) P2170058 Money passing hands for one of Robert and Shel's new books. Yes its a 20. Yes that's Robert's teeth. P2170030 Hey, is that Allen still demoing photos? P2170056 Nick Douglas talks to Derek Dukes. P2170009 Hey, who are these posers? Oh yeah, its their celebration. Go on, pose for the camera guys. We wish you the best and many sales and 'book buzz' in the months ahead. P2170046 This is a freelancer filming the above two posers from the sidelines. Don't you feel like you were at the party at this point? Note to blog: Robert Scoble took off his shirt for a Rocketboom shot, so make sure to tune in. P2170053 Peace to you too girl. And kudos and congrats. For those of you who don't recognize her, its Robert Scoble's wife Maryam who also has a blog. P2170054 After all that, doesn't it make you feel as if you were there last night?

Oh yeah, I am not going to TED, PCForum and Kinnernet. Still wondering about ETech...

Thank you for mentioning Foldera.

I appreciate it.

PS. It was fun watching EVERYONE standing in line- to get to you all night!

Posted by: Richard Lusk | Feb 20, 2006 7:01:53 AM

Wow! You should publish a who's who on the side. You reminded me of people I would have spoken to if I had remembered what they looked like.

This was like playing put the name on the face without having to play. Thanks!

Posted by: Ted R. | Feb 21, 2006 8:07:38 PM

Wow! Another fabulous social event. I must say you are very gregarious. I surmise that residents of the so-called area of our nation known as "dumbf**kistan were not invited to this fabulous event.
