IBM developerWorks Meetup – Tweetup – Wed, Oct 20th

I am in Silicon Valley these days for some strategy meetings around Developerworks and we are hosting a tweet-up on Wednesday. We will have some key folks behind IBM’s developerWorks Network there and will showcase some demos, upcoming projects and even the latest uber popular iphone app.

Innovate, Collaborate, Define something different. Have you always wanted to develop something different? Something better. If you have a vision for our planet and want to change the way we work, this tweet-up is for you.

We will focus on development topics, social software, social networking, analytics and product demos.

P.S. DeveloperWorks is the largest technical social network in the world!

Meet and network with other smart minds changing the world. From Business Partners to Developers to even the Marketing and Strategy folks. From Java to DB2.

Lotus Knows Lotusphere’s first ever Tweetup!

I am very excited to announce a Lotusphere mini Tweet-up at the Opening Reception.  This mini networking event will allow business partners, clients, and friends that are active within the social space to connect and meet in real life.

So far, we have had a very warm response from the community to the tweet-up and I wanted to personally extend the invite to anyone else who is able to join at 6.30PM at the Sunday night Opening Reception.  If you are interested in attending or assisting with the tweet-up, please feel free to ping, email or tweet.

My co-hosts of the event: Rani Salehi, Brian O’ Curran, Luis Benitez, Sonia Malik

Let’s meet near the playground near the Grotto Pool. We will probably move to “N” besides the Pool.

According to mashable.com, Twitter meetups, or Tweetups as they’re commonly called, are pretty much ubiquitous these days. You can’t escape them. The @ nametags. The random awkward conversations that result when you have more than 140 characters to express yourself. Tweetups take an otherwise great service like Twitter and turn it into something much bigger. Lotus knows the power of the community.
