Very jealous too - especially with our weather. In what way were they particularly welcoming? Was it related to sugary treats, or perhaps inside tips on permissions?
Showed us around, answered all the questions. Sales and marketing folks told us what they are up to. Told us NDAd stuff about upcoming things. Dave Morin, head of platform told us all about how that's going. Afterwards one of their VP's walked us to our SocialText meeting. We felt lke royalty.
I'm really chuffed for everyone on the trip. Rather than getting "oh no, more foreigners looking for a tour", everyone seems to be welcoming you with sincere open arms.
We've a lot to learn over here about doing business like that.
Totally Pat. That's what I love about the place. Having a common aim of "maybe we can do business some day" makes conversations so much more interesting there. I hope all the PVers are in the same mind-set now.

I think this is the same style welcome we got at Techcrunch Conor, agreed?

"maybe we can do business some day". Beautifully said Conor. Inspiration for a blog post (something I don't get often enough these days).
