Geeky friends found at POPSignal in Boston

My friends (and family) are amazing, colorful, people. They, however, don't have much geeky blood running through their veins. That is why if you invite me to a geeky event, I will most probably show up. If you offer free beer (thanks Reed at Microsoft!), make that a certainty. But when I showed at at POPSignal last week I, obviously, could not divulge my status of geek friendliness deficit and still seem cool, so instead I focused on telling people about my company's product, the Eluma Desktop.

Eluma, btw, is an upcoming startup that offers this tool to organize and your web "stuff". But not only at the rate of 1 item at a time, like pretty much everything out there. You can compose collections and share the entire thing at once, and once you update the collection, everyone subscribed to it gets the updates.

I met some really interesting people at POPSignal. I was blown away by the fact that people really did want to connect. Everyone wanted to talk about things in addition to their work, and some didn't even talk about their work at all. Everybody had interesting stories, advices, and an amazing attitude. And an unbelievable energy.

I hope Jay and Brian can do it again next year. No, wait, I hope they can do it again twice a year, at least!

You can see Rob Larsen's photos here, and somebody else's here.

And I also want to give a shout out to everyone I met there. If you gave me your business card, you already got a message from me. It was great to meet you! See you next time!
