on Nov 27th, 2008When Bloggers Meet
I’ve been invited and attending more bloggers events these couple of weeks, perhaps because it’s the holiday season, end of the year product launches are rushing to push their brand new toys out into the market. Through these events, not only do I get to sample and test the latest gadgets and health and beauty products, I also get to interact with marketing people and other bloggers.
Some more memorable conversations I’ve exchanged with other bloggers were….
1. Tech65 dude sharing the website at which he bought his digital camcorder at a few hundred dollars cheaper! Warehouse123.com sells a wide range of digital cameras, digital SLRs, audio and camcorder devices. Their office is based in Hong Kong but I suspect goods from China? The company also offers a one year warranty. But I’m seriously consider buying a new digital camera from them!
2. IZ, Gavin and me talking about money. I’m obviously the most ignorant one between the three of us. I have no idea what to do with my money except to hide it underneath my pillow called DBS. While both offered some pretty good advices, I think I’m still going to hold back on what to invest for now. I’m going to be a student soon again, would be bad if I tied up all my money 
3. Sab telling me about her new job at Gadget3. Now I’ve got a better idea how companies lias with PR agencies and lias with media press like Sab. We also had a discussion on how the old media is moving towards the new media: PC Magazine USA is now totally digital, shutting down their print, Tina Brown and a team of writers from print media background starting TheDailyBeast.com – a news site that churns out top news in bite size for people like us that have no time to actually read everything.
Who says geeks only have a life behind their monitors! Perhaps no one, since geeky is the new cool!
