Alright, I’m moving up there!
Om Malik has a great Silicon Valley story about how Scott Johnson ? ex of Feedster ? closed an angel investment for his new company Ookles (top secret) while sitting in Om?s bathroom, as the blogger and his podcast partner Niall Kennedy recorded their latest in the living room.
Later, Om says he met legendary venture capitalist Bill Draper Sr., shared a car with Seth Steinberg of the online messenger service Meebo, and sat in a cafe with Dave Winer, when Kevin Burton of TailRank dropped in. Then Matt Mullenweg of WordPress.com and Scott Beale of Laughingsquid.com showed up, along with venture capitalist Jeff Clavier and Dave Sifry of Technorati.com.
And that?s not even a party like the ones Mike Arrington of TechCrunch.com throws, where 200 invitations fill up in a matter of hours and there?s a room at the back for startups to demo their wares. Om?s just talking about a regular day (okay, maybe not totally regular) in San Francisco tech-land. Yes, it seems that Web 2.0 is one big party.
