The Web PIM recap - June 26, 2000
howdy all,
well, last night's summertime PIM was another rockin' good time, with
upwards of 300 people in attendance. mucho schmoozing, lots of cards being
traded, rumors generated and spirits elevated. can you tell I love
alliteration? I also love a good time, and the PIM is always that. thanks
go to the savvy Suzanne Anderson of Internet music gurus
<http://www.artistone.com>
for helping me put on this event yet again and
to SF WoWser Lara Thurman of
<http://www.creatiaveassets.com>
and her crew
for helping to meet and greet all who arrived (along with the lovely Lou
Fischer and Deborah Dorfman).
biggest kudos, though, go to our sponsors 2bridge
<http://www.2bridge.com>,
eHub builders, and the Yankee Group
<http://www.yankeegroup.com>,
research
analysts to the Web. both companies had reps in the house talkin' the talk
and helping the evening flow. and hey, when your eCompany (now, or later)
needs a good eHub or some timely research info, call the bridge or the
Yankees, alright? they know their stuff.

bottom line: if you didn't make it to the PIM, you missed a huge
opportunity to see and hear about the latest and greatest in the Internet
community. and with things changing at warp speed, can you really afford to
sit on the sidelines? NOT. next PIM will be mid-late September. be there.
