This wasn’t a typical NYC Social Media Club meeting, which is good. It is useful to have meetings to see product/company pitches, especially local companies in the Web 2.0 space. There was […]

Despite large parts of the UK trying to blow away with the attendant travel chaos that staggers those from less civilized climes, we had more than 25 hardy souls braving the elements from as far away as Bonn (yes, as in Germany) and Cardiff (yes, as in Wales), for free beer, wine and nibbles (Thanks, Fleishmann Hillard!) and some incidental chat about social media.

While I know some of you were looking forward to cruising Addison’s Main Steet, it looks like you will have to settle for the lights of downtown Dallas this time around.
Our dear friend Giovanni Gallucci has just secured a great spot at the offices of Yahoo! for the launch of the Dallas […]
