Yesterday I joined a group of bloggers in Copenhagen for dinner and socializing and it turned out to be really interesting.
The dinner started out at a bar, moved on to a restaurant and ended in an apartment. I didnt know any of them personally and I doubt any knew who I was when I showed up. I knew who most of them were because they have been active in the Danish blogosphere in general and particular in the scene of corporate blogging and social software.
It is very interesting whats going on around blogging right now, now that it seems to seriously hit mainstream in Denmark. Blogging is not exactly new anymore but a lot of people are starting to use it professionally – and the people that were here are some of the pioneers in Denmark that try to make a living providing services in social software.
It was a really pleasant evening with some inspirational people and meeting people in person always adds an extra dimension when you only know them from their writtings.
I didnt get around to talk to everybody but Copenhagen is pretty small so I will probably meet them again somewhere.

BTW – this post is my first attempt with Microsoft Live Writer and its suprisingly cool.
http://www.rebeccablood.net/ Det var hende her jeg snakkede om. Hun har vist skrevet noget interessant om blogging Jeg har ikke selv læst det. Men jeg synes det er interessant at blogging er på vej frem i Danmark. Nu mangler vi bare at nogle mere seriøse mennesker tager sig sammen og begynder at blogge. Lige som tilfældet er i USA .

Hej Michael – vi fik ikke lige snakket så meget til bloggerdinneren, men det var altså supercool gjort at du bare mødte op, selv om vi allesammen var strangers .
Jeg glæder mig til at ses på blogforum – synes dine posts om geo-tagging er interessante – og jeg har det som dig – vil gerne have gang i noget mere videoblogging
Tak for det Trine
Det var jo rigtig hyggeligt. Vi ses til blogforum.
[…] As you probably have figured by now I am a big believer of the way that Menlo do things. And for right now I cannot quite stop talking about the experience of working there. I ran into Alexander of Positive Sharing at a Copenhagen Bloggerdinner and talked to him about what a cool place to work is, I of course started speaking of Menlo. Yesterday he made a post about Menlo s Extreme Interviewing which I had the fortune to be a part of during my stay. […]
