In a Wright-Brothers-esque moment of Googling my own idea I find I'm hopelessly behind the times: Google-bating. www.workology.com/blog/?p=66 Oh well. Bugger.

I challenge you to coin a witty new combination word like self-googleation. Or just tell people if they keep googling themselves they'll go blind. Googling oneself is definitely quite masturbatory.

I think some of them have done drinks occasionally. I think part of the problem is that, as opposed to some other blogs and online communities, most of the regular commenters there are spread around New Zealand, rather than in the main centres.

I'm going to be in Auckland this weekend! O cruel fate! Otherwise I'd have been more than happy to catch up over some quality booze with you. But next time, bro. And I'm sure you'll have a fine time in Wellington any way. But speaking of online/IRL meet-ups, one of big things I got from Derek Powazek at Webstock is the idea that any successful online community will eventually go offline. That is, sooner or later someone will say, "Hey, let's meet up!" I've heard stories about Kiwiblog regulars being really opposed to any sort of meet-up. I'm not sure why, though, but I'd guess that there's a big gap between their online personas and who they are in person. Arrgh! I’m going to be in Auckland this weekend! O cruel fate!
