I was googling for blogs, trying to find some interesting info, when I stumbled on my name in the DevDays bloggers list...(For those that don't know what DevDays are, as it is the case for most people in North Africa, Dev Days are events like our Microsoft OpenDoor - one day event, traveling between cities/states/countries - but specialized on Dev).
My first reaction was : "How the hell did I get in there, I am not speaking nor attending at any of those - there are none in my region anyway..." I click the link, and see my name among the first ones on the list (it helps having a first name that starts with an A). I go to the home page, and I'm puzzled when I see this :
The idea behind DevDays Bloggers is to connect all interested in the Microsoft DevDays 2004 events occurring February through April 2004 in 32 cities throughout the United States."
Once again, the US guys just don't notice that there are other people on Earth...
When I try to get back to were my name was listed (not using the back buttons, just to see how visible I was on that site), I can't get to it... There is no menu item to take me there, no link inside any sub category... After spending a couple of minutes on it, I finally use the back button and find that the Url is not linkled to...
So, Those guys were not thinking every PDC guy is a US DevDays guy, but they are using the same app, with the same DataBase... Which is actually a great idea. The only way you find yourself in the part of the app irrelevant to US DevDays is using search engines like google... Sorry for the injustice I was guilty of in my earlier thoughts.
