Blog World Expo - Day 1 Photos
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
Meeting Up With Fellow bloggers & Sponsors
My Two Bags of Goodies
Look for more giveaways real soon! Tonight we are having dinner with Kontera and then heading to the Blog World party at the Hard Rock. It should be a good time! Look for more photos later.

Reply to this commentJohn 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.
Reply to this commentlook like you guys haveing a lot of fun !!!
Reply to this commentHumility 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.
Reply to this commentWatch 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!
Reply to this commentHuh … 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 see that you met sneaky bastard there. I am glad to see that he’s working hard promoting his new movie.
