In Greece

The past few days I’ve been in Athens and now I’m on Ios island for the Greek Blogger Camp. Having a conference like this in one of the prettiest places in the world is a great idea (go Stefanos) and there is a lot of energy in the Greek blogosphere. Things are very early here, I’ve heard estimates that there are fewer than ten thousand Greek blogs, but it’s obvious that there is a lot of growth coming, they have all the right ingredients. (29)

    Cool. Many European countries are indeed starting to get involved in blogging.

    Now you’re making me a little jealous, Matt. I’ve never been to Athens, but I would love to.

    I hope you’re enjoying your stay there :)

    I look forward to seeing you around in NYC sometime now that I moved out here.

    Hi Matt! :) I’m sure the Greek participants have informed you about the mass number of blogs that participated recently in the protest against malpractice. :) We may be, yet a small, but certainly a very active group… :) Enjoy the wonderful sunshine!

    I hope you have a wonderful time! This sounds like such a neat event, wish I could have gone. (Hopefully there are plenty of Greek and Greek-diaspora women bloggers there too!)

    It was a pleasure talking to you, or -to be more specific- trying to talk to you with my lame English.
