Drinking Beer with Robert Scoble
As I mentioned before, I really like spontaneous events. So tonight I went drinking beer with Maryam and Robert Scoble and a bunch of German bloggers and webworkers (Sebastian, Rolf, Carolin and Christian) and family members (Robert’s aunt).
That was fun.

(note to myself: I am a lousy photographer)
After a couple of pitchers Sebastian broke the ice and asked Robert to sign his book. I couldn’t resist to this peer pressure and had to get an autograph myself:
("REMO, Thanks for meeting us in Freiburg! Good luck with your business & hope you enjoy this!")
(Pssst, don’t tell Robert that I haven’t read the book yet… I just read the first chapter on the way there… I haven’t even finished the Long Tail, The World is Flat, Tipping Point, Wisdom of the Crowds… heeeeeelp… I’m suffering from information overload!!!!!)
I even did little video with Robert for this blog:

Obviously, he’s suggesting attending the LIFT conference, a conference he considers in the following years becoming one of the best Web/Tech-Conferences on the planet. Presumably I’ll be there, too.
And finally I could capture Robert at work, being a director. I love the dog scene and of course the shushing signals ;-)

@Robert:
I hope to meet you in Geneva. Maybe next time I can get the URL-thing right ;-). For the record: It was trigami.com and we’re doing something like PayPerPost in Europe. My pitch was definetely the lousiest one I ever did. I hope you don’t cut it out of your video, ’cause it’ll be definitely fun to watch ;-).
@Others:
Hope to see you soon. Don’t forget the Webmondays in Freiburg and don’t forget the Silicon Rhalley (aka Silicon Rheintal).
To cut the crap:
I enjoyed it!
(PS: Thanks to YouTube I had to wait over 45 min to let this two little videos process. That pretty much sucks. And it doesn’t even work properly yet. So if you can’t see the videos, don’t blame me, blame YouTube – and come back in a couple of hours)
Update:
Here’s Roberts report
Some other learnings of yesterday’s meeting
#1: Robert uses Google Reader as his main RSS-Reader (and subscribed 500+ RSS-Feeds)
#2: Robert loves Techmeme
#3: Robert recently bought a Mac ;-)

Hi Dominik
Ja, das BlogCamp hab ich erwähnt, doch Robert scheint sich in die LIFT verliebt zu haben ;-). Wenn das BlogCamp gleich anschliessend an die LIFT stattgefunden hätte, wäre er sicher vorbeigekommen.
Dafür hoffe ich nun, dass die Freiburger Blog-Mannschaft kommt :-).

das war sehr nett gestern, remo, und auch wenn ich es dieses mal leider nicht schaffen werde, komme ich doch auf jeden fall zum nächsten blogcamp.

Hi Caro
War cool Dich kennenzulernen. Ich hoffe das Scoble-Interview mit Dir wird ein Hit :-).
Gruss, Remo

Hi Remo,
leider schaffe ich weder LIFT noch Blogcamp, obwohl ich zu beiden Events gerne hingehen würde, … sitze halt noch an meiner Diplomarbeit. Beim nächsten Mal garantiert! Der nette Abend in der kleinen, interessanten Runde mit Robert Scoble war eine willkommene Abwechslung und vielleicht ja der Grundstein für das Silicon Rhalley (ich würd’s so schreiben ;-) Ne, im Ernst, ein Webmontag sollte schaffbar sein!
Gruss aus Freiburg, Seb

Hi Sebastian
Schade wegen LIFT und BlogCamp. Aber das werden ja nicht die letzten Events gewesen sein.
Gruss, Remo
PS: Silicon Rhalley klingt wirklich besser. Habs oben editiert ;-).

Remo,
Going a li’l off-track: Love the name of your website!
This might sound silly, maybe downright stupid, but I have been looking for that word for the last six months!
Thanks and Cheers!

Glad if I could help :-)

Did you quietly switch the main language of your blog or are you going for a schwitzerdütsch aproach to Denglisch? :-)

Those are some great video’s. It is always good to go out and meet new people over a few drinks.
