A world without borders: the password is connection! August 14, 2007

I’ve already told you how hard it was to be far away from any blogging event (e.g. Science Foo Camp). If I would like to meet someone with the same interest, then I should catch a plane. I can’t meet medical bloggers here (Why? How many medical bloggers do you know in Central-Europe?) , I can’t organize blogger events just like the one took place in San Francisco and reported by Sharp Brains.
One of Sharp Brains’ bloggers, Alvaro, asked me to buy a web camera so that we could make contact more easily.
Yesterday, I bought one.
Then Andreas Engvig came up with an idea of organizing something similar here, in Europe. It is a great idea! So if you blog in Europe and would like to participate in creating a prosperous medical/scientific bloglife, contact us.
You can find me via e-mail (berci.mesko [at] gmail.com) or just Skype me (ncurse). Let’s destroy all the borders between us!
Bertalan, Let’s destroy some borders. Wouldn’t it be interesting to build a umbrella for European science bloggers, like the http://www.scienceblogs.com?
Btw, I’m a medical student too, just got through my third year this spring at the University of Oslo.
Andreas! It would be a good idea! But it’ll be nearly impossible to convince bloggers to leave their own blogs for a community for free.
What do you think about a Europian blogger-meeting via Skype/videoconference/Second life? Just to get these bloggers closer to each other. To create a Europian community.
