Hopped along to the "Blogging Demystified" talk this evening at the Apple Store on Regent Street. Hosted by Londonist, I expected the event to be swarmed by geeks from the blogging fraternity. And boy was I right. There were at least 10 souls with laptops on their knees who one can only presume were liveblogging the whole event. This is a step too far my friends.

The whole affair was quite subdued with very little crowd interaction. The backdrop din from the Apple Store and Regent Street itself didn't help either. But in typical bloggers-save-the-day fashion, we were treated to very interesting and informative speaking from some celebrity bloggers.

Three bloggers spoke about various blogging topics including Annie Mole, Tom Reynolds and the lively Inky Circus.

Not one to shy away from meeting strangers, I also went to the post-talk drinks at the wonderfully named Black Lion and French Horn pub in Mayfair.

Some of the attendees in the pub included the sociable Tom (or Will)** from the New Scientist Technology blog and Matt from Londonist. Had a bit of a chat too with the Inky Circus girls who really do give blogging a good name. Who knew science could be this much fun!

** Forgive my rudeness for not remembering your name. I'm entirely hopeless for remembering names. Again, my apologies.
