Geeky Blogging Entrepreneur

March 28th, 2009   Posted by Bart Van Loon

If I got three words to describe the kind of environments I find myself in
most, I’d go for “geeks”, “bloggers” and “entrepreneurs”. The list of
events I frequent can be grouped in these three categories:

I can imagine not everyone agrees with my grouping here. Of course there’s
overlap:
[How the<br /> geek, blogger and entrepreneur oriented meetups should overlap]

I must agree with Philip
however, that the separation of these groups of people is becoming less and
less clear. None of the women at Girl “Geek” Dinner, know more than average
about computers, let alone technology. Barcamp is not about sharing ideas
anymore, but a reason for bloggers and tweople to hang out together. At
geekdinners, we find ourselves talking more about the economy of the Internet
as the technology of the Internet.

It is true that at most of these events you bump into the same people over
and over again. Is everyone a geeky blogging entrepreneur these days? It’s not
that I’m not enjoying myself at these gettogethers, conferences and dinners, but
unfortunately I believe there’s a high risk of circle-jerking which is hurting
the quality these events altogether. If all starts to look like
[How the geek,<br /> blogger and entrepreneur oriented meetups actually overlap]

stuff tends to get less interesting. Or not?
