GoMo News to have lunch with Steve Ballmer
Rating: oh yeah!
GoMo News hasn’t been over friendly to Microsoft this past year. In the mobile space we feel the company didn’t capitalise on the Motion Bridge purchase and having just reviewed the new Orange converged search on SPV devices in the UK – some simple lessons for search….… (More in the Mobile Search Analyst).
Despite that, I am very excited to attend this event on Monday, but will refrain from asking Mr. Ballmer for his autograph! (I have been asked by two geek friends of mine already!)
This is the agenda and I can’t promise but I will try and “live blog” the event. But am also attending this event to listen as (as you know) GoMo News is also Running the Gauntlet and is hoping to transform GoMo News from blog to mega blog to business. Thank-you to Mircosoft’s Alistair Beagley for supporting me after my pitch and inviting me to this event.
