Jarvis at the Criterion
Just came from hastily arranged drinks with Jeff Jarvis. Not that I’m surprised, but he’s a class act and it was extremely energising for me just to talk to him face to face, after conversing via blogs and email for the last three years. The offline extension of what happens in the blogosphere matters a lot; it’s that component that, to me, makes the network effect of blogs so hard-hitting in all the right ways.
Anyway, we talked at the Criterion Bar in Piccadilly Circus, where Holmes first met Watson (as Paul reminded me upon arrival). Gorgeous place with great lighting, blessedly little background noise (it is Monday night), and unusually for London, friendly service. I’ll be back. (Thanks, Antoine, for the tip!)
