Here's a link to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer article: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/274688_opera21.html. Good show, Opera!

I’m dead pleased to hear that this event worked out so well. I think everybody was a bit nervous about it, but it just goes to show that thinking bigger pays off. Let’s hope this is the start of a new trend in Opera’s campaign towards a growing marketshare. I’m all for that. In fact, I know it will happen.

Keep it up Daniel! Atleast, the Internet has made it possible to view it sitting so far away across the world- atleast for those who couldn’t make it or can’t afford it.

As for the committed fan base, here is one company that takes care of it’s users; spends it’s resources to make it easy for the users to feel comfortable with the community and the browser. It is hard to see any thing like that anywhere else.

Interesting name-dropping …. would be interested what the contacts from Google and Microsoft have to say about why their sites don’t work well with Opera commonly as opposed to Firefox and IE.

Is it because of Opera’s market share that Opera is left out in the cold, so-to-speak, in contrast to FF and IE with Google services/sites and Microsoft sites like http://www.live.com and MSNBC News menus, etc.?

Or is Opera just not as adept as these other browsers in rendering such sites from these noteworthy companies?

Took a while for OperaVoice to read all that. Anyway, sounds like it was a fun event.
