Dot Com Pho moved to Toronto for the very first time and it turned out to be one of the best Dot Com Phos to date. We had a good turn out of 10 people making it out to the Vietnam Noodle Star. It was a good thing Sarah decided to make reservations because that place was packed!
Because this is the first Dot Com Pho and the first time we have ever met face to face, the conversation wasn’t anything like the Dot Com Pho back home. The topics were pure blogging and Internet related. We did get in a bit of politics and got to know each other a long the way. The group hopes to continue the Dot Com Pho meet ups after I’m gone.
Joining Sarah and me for Toronto’s first Dot Com Pho were Bart Dabek of About My Planet and BartDabek.com, ZK of Web Traffic ROI, Ahmed Dawn of A Dawn Journal, Francis Chung of Tech Viva, Chris Ye of Customize, Manuel Maniquis of Adobo Republic, Max of Money Bites, Blog Gears and OIO Publisher, and Antonio Leong. It was great to meet you guys. Hopefully, the next time I’m in Toronto, Dot Com Pho will be taking over entire restaurants.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Thanks John for setting this up…the video rocks
I look forward for more of the Dot Com Pho blog sessions in Toronto
Looks like a good time… quite the big turnout from T.O.
That’s an awesome video. I wish there was a conference in US.
I agree about coming to the US for a Dot Com Pho. Great video John!
I wish I coulda made it but I woke up feeling like shit so yeah…
The Clicker is nearly identical (if not exactly identical) to training tools that they use for dogs and other performing animals. In this way, it serves a very useful purpose.
lol – who are those people?
Looks like a great turnout at the Dot Com Pho. When is the next Dot Com Pho back home? I hope one day I can attend one of these.
I wish I were there.
thanks for the opportunity to spend some time with you, john. i’m hoping us who’ll be left here in toronto would follow up on the event you started.
next time you’re coming over, shoot me an email and i’ll bring you to the best chinese lauriat in town – and it’s not located in spadina!
thanks again and have a safe trip back to vancouver.

Great video. I liked how the guy in the background sitting at the table was looking at John when he was demonstrating that clicker thing. Great vid.
Yeah, he had more camera time than anyone else at the table. Well, except for John
John, thanks for arranging this meet up; everyone else, thanks for making this a successful event. I am putting together an article about our last two meet ups and hopefully I will able to publish it sometime next week. Thanks again.
