Trackback from brennan style!:

The Sunday Times don't see the big picture. Actually, I really felt that I was part of a big family.

C'mon la... the Singapore media wants sensational news. Think Huang-Na, the chopped-up China girl and the NKF drama....

Trackback from Podeam:

Entertaining. Good.

But I didn’t get as much as I thought I would out of it.

Sad.

And I’m stopping right now, for I’ve got a burger waiting in my right hand....

Trackback from PaT's Toblerone:

Trackback from mindless ramblings of an ineffectual preacher:

1342h Just arrived. Later than planned, as usual. Queue already formed. I estimate about 50 people or so. Good. I should be able to get a t-shirt (which is, of course, my primary reason for coming). .........

Trackback from podeam:

Trackback from Ah Knight's Blog:

As a malaysia Blogger which stayed in singapore, i attended Bloggers.SG 2005  . In the morning there are a Intro of Blogging Workshop which organized by National Library , i went to that also, its a bit boring because the workshop seem like a be......

Trackback from Axle Rush!! And my notes for her......:

I have a confession to make, I am a bad boy today…. cause I skipped my swimming lesson to attend Blogger.SG with my bro Thought it should be fun to see the bloggers face to face, so I skipped my lessons that I had been attending for 2 months......

Trackback from Sheena's Little Fragments of Time:

I took the whole day off for the blogging convention Bloggers.SG. I loved it immensely! I finally got a chance to meet all my fellow bloggers, my idol bloggers, some of my readers, and put faces to the blogs!...

Trackback from Product-P:

Hey Ho! I went to the bloggercon just now with shai. It was an impromtu situation. I didn't have any plans today maybe except doing those blardy sch assignments. Putting aside that I went there with Shai. ...

Trackback from Shaun:

The con was a good start, maybe it could be even bigger next year with booths & stuffs, like an exhitbiton ya know. The remote tanks are great, is it sponsored? cus we kinda like wrecked them quite badly at the end of the day......

Trackback from grayareaz:

curosity got better of me... but after this meeting, i wonder if bloggers are only active under the veil of anoymity? When their real self is open and bare for all to see, they become... ermm... normal?...

Trackback from Not Your Usual Shit:

And good old Mr Miyagi was fashionably late. But I feel he looks good with those sideburns and stubble, or put bluntly, very 'man'. Deep sexy voice too......

And oh, mr brown was urging people to take advantage of the free photo printing service provided by Lexmark.

Trackback from wannabe 2.0:

"So, its gonna be this until the party at night ah?" I was asked whilst sitting on a high stool watching the Tomorrow.sg ppl chat and IRC on TV. Apparently it isn't an event that suited everyone's taste. :-) ......

Trackback from Yuhui's World of Wonder:

For me, the convention was less about what blogging is about and more about bringing bloggers together. For almost all of us, we are just faceless individuals who write online. So this was a chance to "expose" ourselves somewhat. ......

Trackback from Wei Zhong's Online Diary (Bloggers.SG 2005: 8/10):

Overall, the organisers made a very successful job out of organising this Con, from the panellists to the programme to the sponsors to the food. I enjoyed the Con thoroughly...

Trackback from For want of a better title:

What further caused this paranoid bunny to worry was that all the organisers were having some sort of secret discussion in their "Not admittance unless authorised" Room. I mean mb had his back facing the glass walls at all times...

Today I went to the bloggers con thing, like the inner groupie that I am. It was held at DXO, formerly Embassy (went bankrupt or something). Kindly sponsered by MSN Microsoft, and all the panelists were using iBooks....

Trackback from laugh now, but one day we'll be in charge:

This afternoon I went to the first ever Singapore Bloggers Conference 2005 at DXO, a club at Esplanade... We attended the segment on law and blogging, like how you can get into trouble with the law by blogging....

Trackback from The Michigan Experience:

All in all, a big success. Excusing the fact that 200+ people crammed in a small area. . . but I won’t take away the small victories - I did learn some stuff, it was well organised and most importantly, fun....

Trackback from Albert Tanutama:

At 1.30, people started to form a queue to get the T-Shirt and to enter the venue, supervised by two huge DXO bouncers who could easily control any misbehaving crowds. The atmosphere was interesting - a bit retro, casual, and relaxing....

Trackback from life of the perfect and beautiful isolator:

Trackback from blog.vjc.sg:

Being True Blue Singaporeans, we reached there quite early and had to stand outside in a queue before the marshals allowed us in. To spend our time more fruitfully, we had a Mother Goose Storytelling Session...

Trackback from Double Yellow's Musings:

It sure seems like the Bloggers.SG 2005 convention was a success. The local media called it a “yawn” (The Sunday Times, 17 July 2005, p.4) but I’m sure all of you know whom to believe....

Trackback from Juvenile colloquialism:

Ah, the BlogCon.

DAMN IT! I AM SUPPOSED TO BE THE YOUNGEST BLOGGER THERE? Aren't I?...

Trackback from I rock, you suck:

I was contemplating whether I should blog a narrative account about my time there, but then, shit, everyone's already had a go at that. So I shall just say that I met like, a ton of people there....

Trackback from Beer & Booze & Brain (Slightly Loose):

so i went to the BLOG CON yesterday. arrived at DXO at 6pm, in time to catch a lil bit of the belly dancing ..... met a couple of people ..... went for dinner at marina square ..... headed back to DXO for free flow drinks...

Trackback from the sassy slumbering girl:

Yes, finally, I have some "activity" on a weekend! Met olduvai and dimsumdolly for lunch at esplanade before we headed for DXO for the first-ever Bloggers Conference to be held in Singapore....

Trackback from Jeff's Blog:

Trackback from A semi-por-pu-lar brogger:

Take me, for example. I am damn interesting, ok. Just ask all those people who kept giggling when I was talking cock - I am a damn excellent public speaker, can? Either that or my fly was down the entire time and I didn't notice....

Trackback from Raging Snowman:

I missed the Singapore bloggers conference yesterday but I am not really sure I missed much. The Strait Times - as boring as USA Today itself - called it a "yawn". Still, I think there are some amusing blogs...

Trackback from Tym Blogs Too!:

None of [this], I guess, makes for what passes as a sexy news story these days. It's a good thing we have blogs, so that other voices can be heard, other perspectives shared....

Trackback from Utterly Indiscreet:

Actually, the only blogger I really talked to was mrmiyagi who was actually quite a nice guy. When I told him that I am a new blogger ... He said I should just blog about whatever interests me instead. I thought that was good advice....

Trackback from My thoughts. Mine.:

I'd have imagined a blogger con held in a convention hall somewhere, people standing on their feet, mingling and holding glasses of champagne ... Shrug, playing party games in groups. Organising themselves by common interest....

Trackback from [some form of love carves my pain]:

VJC ya, they suck. I never like a JC kiddo much, but they topped the list now. Somehow, the teachers and students all looked like they came out of the same genetic book...

Trackback from Stupid Genius:

Trackback from work smarter:

The Straits Times has an article for yesterday's blogger's convention - 1st bloggers' conference is one big YAWN. First-born and a blood debt required to view full article, but you can probably deduce what the article is about. Bah, I thought it was pretty decent as it was the first convention in Singapore. I think the reporters think everyone should be drinking, shouting and revering the popular bloggers vocally. What was their expectation of the event? That people would write… ...

Trackback from Trompe L'oeil:

For being a first in Singapore and also organised by people you can never describe as being paid with peanuts for their efforts, I thought the event was pretty well managed. A little "leave your brains at the door" sort of fun......

Trackback from Sassyjan:

Just because quite a no. of the Bloggers shun the limelight & don't want to tok to The Sunday Times journalist, he thinks everyone is anti social.

Trackback from SomethingStickyThisWayComes:

The Straits Times called it a yawn. I’m not sure what they expected. SPG to strip, drag expat at large out onto the stage area and molest him? Xiaxue to rip somebody a new asshole? Who knows....
