The GoMo News Blender sponsored by MyStrands

Thank-you to you if you are one of the 110 people that showed up between 6pm and 10pm at the GoMo News blender. I am going to write down all the names and link to everyone that came and if I discover a new company they will definitely be in the spotlight.

But, first of all. I want to say how overwhelmed I am. Our first Blender at CTIA got about 43 visitors. The second Mobile World Congress event managed to get 110 and it was a brilliant venue and we had a really great time. Thank-you MyStrands.110 – that is huge on a Wednesday night for a blog only one year old. On top of that loads of people were saying things like – “we are addicted to reading you”. The biggest honour is that two owners of VC’s in the UK turned up. I knew them and nearly fainted.Actually, about eight people turned up after watching me moderate on social networking. Which was fab, because it really was a very very good and upbeat panel. MyStrands paid for the drinks and food and I saw a lot of mobile demos going on. A couple of people said that next year because so many people want to pitch to GoMo we should do a demo night. Anyway – highlights of the night – the pizzas arrived two hours late (so sorry if you went hungry). I nearly fell off the bar stool as I tried to make a speech and everyone thanked me and said it was a brilliant cosy social networking event. So I am over the moon.

(Please excuse me if I am gushing – after our party I went to Player X and basically the Motricity male management swept me off my feet – literally. I will never look at Brendan Benzing the same (no really, from business man to John Travolta in 20 seconds – but more on that in the next blog).

Thank-you. I am finally starting to believe that we are a platform.
