I attended the TechCrunch / Riya launch party last night. Pictures on Flickr are here. It was a good time — thanks to Michael Arrington for hosting the party.
Some people I met or reconnected with:
- Steve Gillmor. We talked about the AttentionTrust a bit; I’ll blog more on that soon. Unfortunately I jokingly raised the “Office Dead” topic with him and Robert Scoble again and found myself in a minor repeat of the Geek Dinner / Parking Lot discussion (described here in a previous post).
- Of course, Robert Scoble — he brought his son. Seems like a nice kid.
- Zach Coelius of Triggit. Zach, it looks like you jumped on FeedBurner after our discussion!
- Ramana Kovi of ePlatform. Robert Scoble first blogged about ePlatform here. I sat in on a demonstration that Ramana gave to Steve. Kind of a Web portal allowing parents to manage the whole family’s Internet experience. All on .NET, too.
- Many of the Meetro guys. They all moved out here from Chicago a few weeks back to setup shop in the Valley.
