As I have been blogging over the past 10 months or so, I have come to “know” and respect those who I feel have great minds for blogging, and technology on the Internet as a whole. There are quite a few people who I would love to meet and network with, and a few I would love to just make friends with as well. Being in the Seattle area, a hotbed for geek bloggers, I shouldn’t have too hard a time crossing people off this list, and moving them to the “People I am Glad to Have Met” list. Here is my list, in no particular order. Some are fairly well known, while others you may not know - but you will soon:

• Chris Pirillo of Lockergnome
• Jason Calacanis of Weblogs, Inc.
• Robert Scoble of Microsoft
• Henry Copeland of Blogads
• Luigi Lugmayr of I4U
• Joel Johnson of Gizmodo
• David Shappelle
• Marc Canter
• Steve Rubel of MicroPersuasion
• Adam Curry
• Dave Winer
• Philip Torrone
• Alan Jeric
• Steven Holmes of OfferCentric

If you are in the Seattle area, drop me a line at andru (at) amedwards.com if you want to hook up. I will also be at E3 in May, as well as New York City.
