Lunch with Fay
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
Today I had lunch with an old friend, Fay. In addition to catching up and being teased about my limp and inability to grasp things with my left hand as a result of my fall, we discussed blogs, wikis, feeds and the problems with the publishing industry. Fay's a very astute business woman, successfully running A Coastal Affair for over 18 years, but she just doesn't see the value in much that's been termed Web2.0. She did see where the publishing industry could benefit, though.
To those who believe in these technologies, and even the static web, blogs and feeds have become the new PR and the only marketing worth doing. To the rest of the world, not so much.
Then we had a much more fun conversation: talking about upgrading her from an old Mac running v9 to a shiny new Mac with Tiger. That got her much more excited - especially so since she now has a Mac fan [me] to help her with the transition. Not that I think she'll need much help.
The risotto with prawns was wonderful. And, to discount that there's no such thing as a free lunch, Fay picked up the tab. Thanks Fay.
