The San Jose Weblogger Meetup

I’ll be attending the “San Jose Weblogger August Meetup” tonight at Tony Soprano’s Pizzeria in Downtown San Jose at 6pm. The group description reads “This is a great time for bloggers and podcasters from the community to meet university students interested in Web 2.0 technologies.”

Later: The meetup was… interesting. I can say that I at least I found the blogs, podcasts, and technology discussion portion to be worthwhile. We didn’t get to discuss what we want out of the group or where we would like to see it go. Hopefully next time. Edit: Just to clarify: Honestly, I am now more interested in conversations in blogs as opposed to recaps of the authors’ lives or the who knows who game. That’s the direction of the group headed after a while and I began to lose interest.

    I don’t think there was any plan as to where to take the conversation. Once launched it just kind of flowed down its own path. At times it broke into sub-conversations, then flowed back together. I have found that to be common at events like this. I think the elegant part of it is not just the conversation at the event, but the contacts and conversation that flows in the blogosphere after.
