I was lucky to be invited as a blogger to cebit this time around. I had the opportunity to confirm a few things:

- there is in fact a blogger dress-code
- there is a blogger demeanor (“i must have been a journalist in a previous life”)
- wifi is never fast enough
- there’s never enough jelly bellys, i meant jelly beans to go around

Other than that boththe host and the idea sponsor were gracious and accommodating. Ah yes, and the show… lots of telco, voip, network, some rfid, some tablets, old-ish software all round, web hosting…

Exhibitors that had to do with recruiment/people/hr:

- recruitment systems who are launching a new version of their integrated management system in the next few months (no specifics, maybe we’ll catch with the GM and get a deeper scoop

- jobserve, maybe it was too early but there weren’t too many people around them

- support resort, get an hour of .net development out of India or the Philippines for 5 aussie bucks (!)

- ford and james, candidate assessment circa 1980, that was my impression after hearing the pitch anyway

i trust there’s more upbeat posts from the blogger peer group at bloggerzone.com.au

.. and a handful of pics

Cebit 2007

The LinkedIn blog is open for business.

We know corporate blogs can work… or not. I will be following with interest and elaborate on it as it matures; I am certainly betting on LinkedIn’s global growth, and blogs could be one mechanism to help them reach wider and deeper beyond the US.
