Bill Gates meets the bloggers
Microsoft is hosting a day-long meeting with bloggers Wednesday, aiming to get their thoughts on where web development is headed.
The event culminates this evening with a meeting with Bill Gates. Among those that headed to Redmond for the event are Chris Pirillo, Blogger founder Evan Williams and Yahoo's Jeremy Zawodny.
The goal of the gathering, the softies say, is to get ideas and feedback as the company plans for its second Mix conference, which takes place April 30-May 2 in Las Vegas.
