GigaOm and The Ladders at SF (Video walk through using Viddler)
Categories: EventsPosted on May 11th, 2007A six figure salary is pretty common for any median (700-800k) homeowner in the SF bay area. But for many, a six figure salary is still a benchmark into management, and into the “big” time.
That’s why The Ladders (a premiere recruiting site) helps employers and job seekers connect for a small fee. With the launch of Om’s recent entrepreneur webzine powered by PublicSquare has launched, I can see the need to connect with the highly qualified.
Last night’s event was great, the usual bloggerati was present, great hors’ dourves, and a wonderful bay setting in San Francisco.
I saw Kevin Tailrank, Team Bubble, Dr Pepper, Scoble, Justin TV, LaughingSquid, Irina, and many others. Thanks to Joanne Wan, and Om for being great hosts.
Update: Lane Hartwell’s photos turned out really great on Flickr, all the photos look so rich! Wired blogs have Lane’s photos up.
Video of the party: I did a complete walk through, which is fun because you can see so many people. I used viddler to tag them.


























LOL - I had no clue that was a vidcam. Got the big cheesy smile in there, though.
Great seeing you, as always.

Good party video. I like the tags feature in Viddler.

Viddler is fun, adds another layer of interaction on top of just posting or watching.

Jeremiah, you are getting better at it. I like recorded videos, it brings more reality into the post. Thanks!

I disagree about TheLadders. First, I still have never received an answer from them about how they are able to charge for users to view listings. Second, I have never found anything of value on their site.
But it does appear they can draw in all the big names for a party.
I do agree though that the six-figure mark still means something to most people. It’s a mark of achievement for many and a good one at that.

I joined ladders for a short period of time, then asked for a refund and left.

I guess someone is paying so they can throw a party
