Does anyone in the tech blogosphere work? Seriously…

conference I swear that if you lined up all of the conferences in a year you could probably find that everyday has some sort of tech conference going on. It could be some hardcore gadget conference or some warm and fuzzy group hug get together cloaking itself with some snazzy social media type name.

Then there’s all the <insert cool name>Camp or how about the UnConferences.

It seems that every time you turn around either someone is talking at some conference or someone is talking about the conference they are at or the one they are going to. So this begs the question …

When do you people get any real work done?

Seriously.

Everyone seems to be spending more time at conferences than they are getting any work done.

Hey, like this post? Why not share it with a buddy?

    Why do you care? Jealous you can't go to more?

    Don't conferences allow for the sharing of ideas? How is that at least conducive to work?

    how about humor or possibly sarcasm – or are those something that is in hiding these days .. perhaps I should beg to the social media gurus for forgiveness for not making it more obvious.
