Networking events like that can be hit or miss. I heard the Diggnation event at SXSW was fantastic- but it’s also hard to meet new people when there’s so much going on. Sounds like some good entertainment though!

That’s too funny about the sausage party. It is a shame that they made the format more about entertainment than networking. Hopefully they improve it for next year.

Can’t see any girls out there. Seems like its a “for the boys” event.

Vaynerchuk has also announced a partnership with Eatdrinkordie.com, where he has released videos about wine, sometimes working with celebrities like Anna Faris. Some people get aimless at times, and it’s a pity we don’t all look at things the way Tallulah Bankhead did. Tallulah Bankhead was an actress and entertainer whose fame peaked in the 1930s and 40s, and she was an ardent proponent of self fulfillment. Not necessarily from the Self Actualization standpoint of Maslow, but more of a libertine fashion, and she went through a fair amount of instant cash loans to make sure she had a good time. Her idea was to, to steal from the movie Spinal Tap, “have a good time, all the time.” It means that Tallulah Bankhead would be one to spend money now on good times, in order to live the life she wanted.

hope you don’t get too many more hangovers

Diggnation … poor! I won’t have anything bad said against them. Although even the best can lay on lousy events, I’ve got the ‘t-shirt’.

lol..perhaps that’s “For Guy Only” events. But I think it’s cool to listen someone rap and beat box in live, I’ve never heard it before. In fact, I know a little bit of beat box.

Regards,

Sorry you didn’t have a good time at our live Diggnation. We do these events primarily as a way for our fans to watch their favorite internet TV stars live. We had easily 2,000 people there, and most everyone seemed to have a good time.

The beatbox and rap appealed to many there, but not everyone (I’m not much of a fan, but then again, I’m not really the target audience).

But it was definitely NOT designed as a business-style internet mixer for professionals. However, if you drop me a line next time we do one in NY, I’ll get you into the VIP list, so you can hang out upstairs (if you weren’t there) – that at least is a little quieter.

Thanks again for attending, and I encourage you to check out some of our other shows too!

I had never heard about this and nor I had tried such networking before. Its seems useful so just thinks about it. It will be wonderful experience to meet strange peoples.

This networking event may be hit. After watching these photos I can say this. But don’t have any experience for that.

Well, it’s really tough Ian, personally I never would have thought of a diggnation audience to be an “internet marketing” type of audience, but rather an audience that just enjoys technlogy.

Judging from the photos, it seems kinda of hard to see the stage with the bright lights, is this true, or just the photo?

I’ve never been to a diggnation show before live that is, although I have watched some of their shows online before in the past. It doesn’t surprise me that it was a sausage fest, When I was majoring in Software Engineering at the university here, there not one single girl in my computer classes. Kinda of sad really

It’s too bad things didn’t work out for you there, from the looks of the pictures the event wasn’t that hot, lol.

Till then,

Jean

Diggnation is a weekly video podcast produced by Revision3. It is hosted by Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht, who had previously hosted TechTV’s The Screen Savers together. Its main purpose is to discuss some of the top stories from Digg, the social bookmarking website developed by Rose and others.
