Re: Austin Startup/Geek Bar - FIND IT!

Great idea! I always love it when I get to meet up with local geeks at a pub like the Gingerman or the Draught House. It would be great to see a 'home base' pop up for those days where there isn't time to kick out the word to a group. Plus, knowing that there's a high likelihood of the people around being geeks/designers/social media/startup types, people may be more likely to strike up conversations with strangers. Very cool.

Don't forget about us in Refresh Austin! With just under 400 members here in town, and an average of 35 - 45 people attending our monthly meetings, we can get the word out to all sorts of geeks, many of whom would like to participate and/or help you build this.

We're all geeks, we just wear different stripes. I know a bunch of us love to learn about the other areas of geekdom.

I would add connections to that list - both with other people and with related experiences in time.

Sweet Colin! I can't wait to see what you've built. The Ma.gnolia plugin for WordPress that I maintain is showing its age as more and more people encounter issues with their host locking down fopen(), so it would be great if your work could provide a better way for folks to display their links.

If you need anyone to help test, please let me know!

Re: The Importance of the Physical World

Great post Chris. Online efforts must circle around to tie in with the world that physically surrounds us. In that vein, I'm hosting a Salon/Core Conversation at SXSW Interactive this year on the topic of organizing physical groups. One of the key aspects we'll cover is the use of social media tools and services to promote and communicate within the group.

We'll have a great bunch of people who have successfully organized "real world" groups and events, harnessing the power of a range of social media tools.

For anyone who may be interested, the panel is SXSW Year Round: Organize Groups, Maintain Your Buzz - Monday, 6:30 - 7:30 at the Hilton, Room D.
