Just got to my hotel from the techcrunch crunchie awards. Super cool event.
I had a press pass so after the show I got to spend some time with the winners who I had talked to online or had been on my radio show but I have never met in person before:
Pete Cashmore of mashable.com
Founder of FaceBook Mark Zuckerberg
Matt Mullenweg founder of WordPress
Kevin Rose founder of Digg.com
I just want to thank Michael Arrington of Techcrunch.com again for the pass. I had a great time.
Shoe-
I saw you featured on the Techcrunch party post cool!!!

Nice one Jeremy, I too would have loved to meet some of those people. Kevin Rose does look a bit lost :D.
David
too cool!
Those dudes are so young!
Why didn’t you pose with Mike Arrington?
Were they any other high profile Geek Stars there
Shoe is hangin’ with the big guys, even got to hang with Zuckerberg and Arrington. Nice.

Everyone that was nominated for an award was there and also pretty much a who’s who of 2.0 company founders
Couldn’t find Tom from Myspace for a photo? lol
ya I had no idea the facebook guy was 23…. pretty impressive
Wow. Looks like an incredible experience. Any insight to those guys’ personalities? What are they like in conversation?
So who won? I dont want to have to go to TechCrunch to see >_<
That is awesome!!! 😀 Some big name pictures there! Lucky 😉
Lots of big money names… All young men, making it rich. The internet belongs to the young, and that proves it once again. Would love to meet those guys, such an inspiration, a great positive vibe hanging with those guys. Good work Shoe
Is it me or does Kevin Rose look like he always wears the same outfit?
There are some big webmasters there 😀
Hey Shoemoney, that was awesome, appreciate you willing to take a picture with me to before the ceremony, made my day! Thanks!
Funny…out of all those “big timers” – shoe is the only one who actually figured out how to make money online.
Good to see all those young kids came up with all those brilliant ideas. Inspiring as well.
I liked Mark Zuckerberg’s interview on 60 Minutes. The reporter said something to the effect of “There’s a lot of buzz saying that you”ll be as powerful as the guys who founded Google.” (or something like that)
She paused and waited for him to respond. He says “Is that a question?” and then laughs. He just seemed very laid back.
You gotta watch the 60-mins interview with him from last week.

there must be people worth over $2-3 Billion in that same building.
Wow… so you got to meet all those people???
That’s amazing!
What was it like to be around all those famous people? Did you feel like you were inspired by them so you could create something as successful as they did?
dang you met kevin rose lol. I remember watching his episodes on “thebroken”.
no way, I always see kevin wearing casual clothes.
Well aren’t they all? Facebook and Digg are online sites/services and Shoe started with Nextpimp which is also a site/service that people used and he monetized. You could argue that the difference is Shoe didn’t reinvent the wheel to make money and these guys (most pictured) created something completely new. It’s the difference between using a site in a new way to make money (Nextpimp), and creating a new technology to change the way we use the web (Facebook, Digg).
I remember kevin rose from tech tv I am pretty sure. Looks like a lot of big people in one place, almost everything big on the internet someone there invented it.

looks like it was a lot of fun! Thanks for the pics w/ all the cool people 🙂
Totally awesome… I wish I was able to attend the event myself. Maybe next year =)
Must have been nice to be rubbing elbows with a billionaire (Mark).
Nice post.
He does knows a lot of famous people.
They really know how to earn some money.
I agree. All these people are successful in their own right. Just because they didn’t want to do something to make money initially doesn’t mean it won’t benefit them in the long run.
Matt looks totally different from the pic on his blog! o.0
Some pretty cashed up young dudes there.
That’d definitely be true. However, Kevin Rose adds nothing to that figure. As much traffic as Digg gets… it cant seem to monetize it. I would rather have less hits with more people clicking than their loads of hits with noone clicking.
looks like shoe has put on some weight
That’s awesome. It is good to be young and famous with the internet opening a lot of doors to smart people with ideas.
Damn cool.
They all look so very young!
Awesome man! I would love to meet up with those big guys out there! Great job Shoe, would be great if you could rope me in in your next visit to such cool places 😛
oh that super successful younger 🙂
these guys look like average guys that you wouldn’t expect to be running or founded such well known companies.
Looks like an awesome night. I have always wondered what the successful people look like. But congratulations to you and all the other guys at the awards. You all thoroughly deserve it. Nice pictures. I see digg.com got an award. All magnificent sites.
Regards Andrew
wow Shoe, you got some pics with the BIG NAMES in the online industry 🙂
-Mike
Pictures for a few. Only the elite of the Internet in the photos, including the creator of ShoeMoney
Wow. Mashable dude is hot.
