On the social media circuit

I went to another tech industry networking event last night. The open source attitude floweth over into the real world. Everyone is very nice and willing to offer help or advice. It’s actually really refreshing to find people that can discuss the finer points of the Web site valuation or the future of social networking.

Interesting social notes:

• People twitter. A lot.
• Despite disagreeing with Michael Arrington, everyone still reads his posts.
• Disproving the stereotype, geeks are social.
• West coast has iPhones. East coast has Blackberries. It’s the Biggie/Tupac rivalry of the telco industry.
• Females apparently put social networking events on their “to don’t” list.
