NYC blogger summit makes the New York Post

| | comments (1)

The New York Post picks up on the debacle of the NYC blogger summit I attended last week:

Jeff Zucker, who's set to take over as CEO of NBC Universal to tackle the challenges the Internet poses to TV land, might want to dole out some advice to his underlings at WNBC-TV.

The local New York TV station hosted more than 130 bloggers at an evening event last week at NBC headquarters and ended up alienating most of them by begging them to e-mail in scoops.

Tee-hee. They really were begging. It was fairly pathetic.

Oooh, I love the feeling of vindication, that I'm not the only one who thinks that this, that or the other is idiotic (or cool, or weird)! And I meant to mention that your blog-cap does look pretty nifty. A friend of mine who passed away in 2005 used to do a lot of promotions for movie studios at SF conventions, and so we were the recipients of mucho free swag. We came to the conclusion that the nicer the swag (high-quality t-shirts with great graphics, nice pins, unusually well-thought-out promotional tschockes), the crappier the movie. I still love my glow-in-the-dark Underworld t-shirt, my fancy little dream-catcher from Dreamcatcher, and my very stylish pewter hatpin from The Postman.
