If you’ve been reading this blog long enough, you probably realize I have a mild (okay, not so mild) obsession with Twitter. If you aren’t already following me, please rectify that now. Because I enjoy nothing more than a good conversation over a good beer, I’ve organized some “Tweetups” (Twitter meetups) in the past, both [Keep Reading…]
Internet Week NY Wrap-Up (in photos)
What a whirlwind week! Since last Tuesday I have met a phenomenal group of people, partied my butt off and talked ’til I was blue in the face. And while Internet Week New York isn’t technically over until the Webby Awards tomorrow night, it is definitely over for me. I’m pooped! I already told you [Keep Reading…]
NY Tech Meetup — June 2008
Internet Week New York edition Last night was the monthly NY Tech Meetup at IAC. Instead of the typical 5-minute presentations by new start-ups getting their feet wet, this month was a rather impressive line-up of successful Internet companies operating in New York. As always, it was a sold-out room of 400+ developers, designers, entrepreneurs, [Keep Reading…]
Whitney and Internet Week New York
There has been a lot of talk about it for weeks, but it’s finally here. Internet Week New York starts tomorrow and goes until Tuesday, June 10. “Presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences in cooperation with City of New York and The Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre & Broadcasting,” Internet Week [Keep Reading…]
Tweetup Goodness – 5/27/2008
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Tweetup at d.b.a. last night in the East Village. The weather was tentative, but more than 20 people showed. We snagged a great table in the corner of the patio — which is airy, but covered — and sipped on Sixpoint Brownstone, Chimay and Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal [Keep Reading…]
Tweetup Success
Last night was the second NYC Tweetup that I helped to organize. The first was a couple weeks ago at the 79th Street Boat Basin. It was a lovely evening, but only five people showed (@efortiz, @hikirsch, @webmetricsguru, @ewphoto and @coreyh). All great people and I thank them for trekking all the way west! Eduardo [Keep Reading…]
NY Tech Meetup — April 2008
Just got home from this month’s NY Tech Meetup, which Scott said is the 42nd meeting so far. I’m talking about Scott Heiferman, CEO and co-founder of Meetup.com. He started NY Tech and is the MC for every event. This month they packed in eight presenters at five minutes each, so things moved pretty swiftly. [Keep Reading…]
NY Tech Meetup – March 2008
Okay, so the Meetup was almost two weeks ago, but I’ve been sick so give me a break! Better late than never to report back from this month’s NY Tech Meetup at the lovely IAC building. For the first time, this month’s lineup was based on a theme: “Power to the People: The Future of [Keep Reading…]
NY Tech Meetup – January 2008
Even though my first Meetup experience was mediocre, I decided to give another group a shot — NY Tech Meetup. They’d garnered high reviews for their previous events and drew crowds in the hundreds. Plus I really liked their description: “6 people get 5 minutes each to demo something cool to New York’s tech community [Keep Reading…]
Meetup
I’ve been a member of Meetup.com for years, but it was only last month that I worked up enough courage to actually attend an event. I’d been tooling around on the site one day and found a few groups for web entrepreneurs. I figured I might meet some like-minded people, make a few connections, find [Keep Reading…]
