New Yorkers

September 14th, 2005

Scott Heiferman, of Meetup, is undergoing a membership drive for the New York tech meetup group. I was due to go to the last meeting but hadn’t realized my Coldplay ticket was for the same night. I have met a few regulars and can’t wait until I get to attend the next one. Each meeting is a mini DEMO of cool technologies people are working on.

The group is a good mix. At the moment there are more technologists and creators than lawyers and PR people.

Here is Scott’s aim for the group:

New York needs a united tech community. If we grow, we’ll all have an incredible resource for everyone involved. People have found jobs & financing & friends & ideas at the NY Tech Meetups, and it’ll get much better if we’re much bigger.

Here is how you (or I) could win a new iPod Nano:

** So, let’s do a 3-Day Member Drive. Between now and Fri 9/16
Noon. To spark it, a little contest: For everyone that you refer, you and their names will go into a drawing for 2 new 2gb iPod Nanos… one for you, and one for the person you refer.
(When they sign up, the site asks who sent them.) **

Go on. Join up.
