Blog World Expo – Day 1 Photos

How to make $593 in less than one hour

Blog World is the first convention I’ve ever been to where I was some kind of Internet superstar. I lost track on the number of time someone came up to me and said, “OMG! You’re John Chow! Can I take a picture with you?” It’s quite humbling really. I didn’t expect this type of attention when walking the Blog World show floor.

The funniest event of the day was when I was at the Technorati booth. They asked me to look up my Technorati rank so they can put it on a sticker for me to wear. When I told the guy my rank was 41, he said, “No way!” Then he came over to check and said, “Oh, you’re John Chow.” Technorati didn’t give me a very good answer on why I wasn’t in the official top 100. Here are more photos from day 1 of Blog World.

It Was One Interview After Another

Dude that last picture cracked me up! I spilled my coffee! Looks like you’re having a blast. Enjoy your new media status…it will only get worse…lol
But hey, what a positive problem to have, right?

Mike November 8, 2007 at 5:38 pm

What’s been the most interesting booth? You should do a post on it!

Domtan November 8, 2007 at 5:39 pm

Looks fun, and seems like you had fun too. That’s a nice Black ShoeMoney Tee.

iantrepreneur November 8, 2007 at 5:39 pm

Is Nate a midget or are you tall?

Thomas Sinfield November 8, 2007 at 5:49 pm

That was funny about the technorati guy! Looks like a great conference… maybe I will be making enough next year to make it..

MoneyNing November 8, 2007 at 6:11 pm

This is great stuff! It must be good to be you if everyone just wants to do interviews with you and treat you to dinner :)

Success November 8, 2007 at 6:11 pm

Looks like a good time. The cool thing is I recognize about half those people your in pictures with.

Mike Huang November 8, 2007 at 6:12 pm

WOW, it looks like so much fun!! I sure hope you’re having a good time, you deserve this after your hard work.

Michael @ tech November 9, 2007 at 2:41 am

Steve November 9, 2007 at 11:33 am

I too am very interested in the contents of those bags… perhaps good prizes to be had by some luck reader!!

johnny card November 8, 2007 at 7:16 pm

Bedroom Furniture November 8, 2007 at 7:16 pm

Hey bloggers can be goodlooking? :shock:

Shaun Carter November 8, 2007 at 7:26 pm

That’s too bad Technorati couldn’t get their heads out of their ass long enough to explain why you’re number 41 but not on the top 100 list.

johnny card November 8, 2007 at 7:48 pm

john chow the rockstar, i can totally see it. hey i’d want my pic taken with him:-)

Brad November 8, 2007 at 8:01 pm

Entrecard girls look HOT… too bad their product sucks!

Ivy November 8, 2007 at 8:02 pm

Looks like you were having a blast! It will be interesting to read the interviews that were done. Maye you could charge them for placing an ad on your blog so that we can read all the interviews about you… :evil:

OnlineCashFlow November 8, 2007 at 8:35 pm

Diggin the Shoemoney shirt John!

karu November 8, 2007 at 8:59 pm

K. November 8, 2007 at 9:41 pm

haha at the last picture. What’s that in the cup? :grin:
it’s either you’re a real tall person or everybody was really, really short. Anyhow, looks like you had a blast. I wish I could’ve been there.

Cheers,
K.

Teejay November 8, 2007 at 9:55 pm

Pretty good pictures.

Gdog November 8, 2007 at 11:01 pm

LOL, that Technorati story is funny, you should’ve given them a harder time to explain why you weren’t in the top 100!

TJ November 8, 2007 at 11:23 pm

Like the last picture john…what are you holding there? :lol:

Nomar November 8, 2007 at 11:43 pm

Michael @ tech November 9, 2007 at 2:42 am

Neil Duckett November 9, 2007 at 3:36 am

6`2 … not that i`m his publicist but he did mention it a few days back from memory.

Etienne Teo November 9, 2007 at 12:36 am

Chip November 9, 2007 at 1:23 am

Nice work getting the glove on the honey in the 5th pic!

Virtual Lottery November 9, 2007 at 4:32 am

Ventrilo Server November 9, 2007 at 5:32 am

Looks like an awesome conference

Daniel Scocco November 9, 2007 at 6:02 am

John or any other reader that might know the answer:

How come you stopped using Kontera ads? I just noticed it today, and could not find out why.

Hoto November 9, 2007 at 6:24 am

look like you guys haveing a lot of fun !!! :twisted:

Home Recording November 9, 2007 at 6:42 am

Humility does not become you John. Had I been there I too would have reacted the same way. Come on, it must have done your self esteem a world of good! Be honest.

Philip November 9, 2007 at 7:25 am

Watch out John! ONE DAY the media’s are all gonna be attracted to me and NOT YOU! Haha just joking. If that day really comes I’m gonna tell them that ‘I am who I am today because of John Chow!’ You really inspired me alot. For that I thank you!

Terence Chang November 9, 2007 at 9:24 am

Huh … Have you all find something very interesting in those pictures?

I think John Chow is the tallest in the pictures. How tall are you John Chow? 6′ ##”?

The bottom picture looks funny… Two big balls between ….
I believe many people will want to get such attention ….

Rebecca November 9, 2007 at 9:26 am

I see that you met sneaky bastard there. I am glad to see that he’s working hard promoting his new movie.

Vince Panero November 9, 2007 at 12:04 pm

Thanks for the interview John! I didn’t know you had a picture taken of us; I borrowed and posted it. Thanks for the opportunity, and enjoy the rest of the craziness…. :)

Widescreen Wallpapers November 11, 2007 at 4:49 pm
