Have been thinking about moving off Blogger for a while. Having tinkered with both Wordpress, Tumblr and Posterous, I've decided to take the plunge and move Chris Reed - ginger and proud over to Posterous.
So, I'll shift feedburner over shortly (and hopefully seemlessly), but will be double-posting for a little while. In the meantime, if you wouldn't mind posting comments there, and not here, I'd appreciate it.
And thanks for reading this far...
I'd missed a few London Bloggers Meetups in a row for various reasons, so was really looking forward to last week's. Not only was Matt from the Londonist speaking (I was on holiday when he was on the panel for the "What next for journalism?" debate at Fishburn Hedges [my employer], but had heard very good things), but also those fine people from Starbucks were sponsoring the night at The Old Crown on New Oxford Street.
Despite the heat, the atmosphere in the room was as friendly and welcoming as ever. And both Matt and Jason from Edelman (representing Starbucks) gave a fine old spiel, though I'm afraid Chris from Buy.at failed to convince me that I should start affiliate marketing. The whole transparency issue worries me...
Anyway - hats off to Andy Bargery for organising another fine night, and for Starbucks and Edelman for supporting it financially (and with free VIA coffee sachets). While doing a bit more research into the coffee I did raise a wry smile at the instructions on the Starbucks site for it. Having seen the pic I was half expecting to see disclaimer: warning - adding boiling water may make the contents hot ;)
