Don't Mention the PDC
Wednesday 11 June 2003
The blog parody was spot on in many details but scanning through Scobleizer this morning one particular fragment of the Robert Scoble take-off came to mind:
... Career advice. Link to friends. Link to other friends. I love working at Microsoft. Come to the Professional Developers Conference. Link to friends. Link to other friends ...
I know Scoble is a now a MS evangelist but, please, I'd prefer not to be reminded what seems like every day that there is a conference called the PDC this October (for example). I'm unlikely to get sent there on a business trip in the current econmic climate and I'd be stretched to justify the cost of a personally paid trip to my nearest and dearest. I know it sounds like its will be a great conference with lots of exciting new stuff but thats precisely why I don't want these frequent reminders I will be missing out on it!
