Party Like It’s 1999

Just when the buzz from the last exclusive blogoparty party finally faded out, we get to read about another insiders party that precious few of us are likely to be invited to.

The blogospats didn’t do it. The gatekeeper business didn’t do it. But if I have to read story after story about another exclusive party where invitations are handed out from the very in-crowd to the semi-in crowd, I just might have to follow Scoble’s lead and take a Memeorandum hiatus.

While I think the idea of Web 2.0 awards is generally a good one, the true point of this party will be known when the voting panel and invitation criteria are known.

I hope this is more about awarding the companies than awarding the invitees.

    Does not compute. How will cutting Memeorandum out of your regular reading rotation change the practice of handing out exclusive party invites?

    The last TechCrunch party was open, you just had to sign up on the wiki to get in. You like to complain so much that you complain about people who do what you WANT them to do. LOL. Time for you take a well-deserved break from blogging.
  • Ethan, it won't stop it from happening; my point was that I won't have to read it.

    Anon2, I'm just expressing my opinion, which is that I grew weary of reading about the party scene last time around and don't want to do it again. I never said they shouldn't have whatever parties they want. I simply don't want to read about it for 6 months. Peace to you.

  • But it's all about "the conversation" ... the *cool* (kids') conversation ...
