Blogging in Toronto

It wasn't quite a Om Malik-like blogger/entrepreneur extravaganza or a Michael Arrington BBQ but it was nevertheless good getting together with a group of Toronto bloggers last night for drinks and dinner at The Paddock. The group included Mathew Ingram, Rob Hyndman, Tyler Hamilton and Michael McDerment. Needless to say, there was a lot of animated discussion about blogging, the recent Sam Bulte controversy and other topics of little interest to the hipsters at The Paddock. We came away from our three hour discussion that more has to be done to encourage bloggers and people within the Web 2.0 community to get together – whether it's through informal social events or organized meetings. There is a lot going on in Toronto but there needs to be more of a community developed. We've got some ideas so stay tuned!
