February Twitter Happy Hour – #BATHH
16 February 2010
Austin's Twitter Happy Hour This month's Twitter Happy Hour was held at The Ginger Man on 3rd Street in downtown Austin and despite the rain, the bouncer (is that the right word to use these days?) said there were nearly 300 people in the door, about 20 of which weren't affiliated with the Twitter Happy Hour. Parking was insane and the rain and cold were very un-Austin, but several hundred people still showed up, proving that although we LOVE the Ginger Man, we've outgrown the venue. Follow everyone that was there with one click! Want to follow everyone that went to the event? Even if you didn't go, no worries, the point is for networking and that can be ...

Hell, we'll buy you a beer for volunteering, so why not? Spots to ...

Newest Invitation Manager and My New Favorite
29 August 2009Get those people OFFline! I've written frequently over the years advocating inviting your online contacts to join you offline for some face to face time and while there are countless ways to do this, there are very few ways to manage these events online. For tweetups, I use Twtvite.com (click here for a sample invitation) and for professional events, I use Eventbrite.com (click here for a sample invitation). What's important to me regardless of the site I use is the following: Ability to promote and gather RSVPs from Twitter and Facebook. Ability to edit the invitation should details change. Control over HTML so I can insert our logo or ...

Linux Against Poverty Install Fest
05 August 2009Linux Install Fest Last weekend, we volunteered at Geek Austin's Linux Against Poverty Install Fest which donated over 200 computers to children in need. Led by Lynn Bender, the festival was a great success with so many computers being repaired or if new, simply cleaned up and all units were installed with the easy to use Linux operating system so local children in need don't have to miss the bus to stay behind to do their homework or walk long distances to the local library to do required school work. This is an ongoing initiative, so if you have a laptop or ...
