By now you may have gotten wind of -- or an invitation to -- a new networking event called "Third Thursday." A couple of months ago, Mike Manuel (Voce), Phil Gomes (Edelman), and Jeremy Pepper (Weber Shandwick) and I hatched the idea on a conference call. The idea, roughly, was this: a monthly get-together for PR people, bloggers and journalists who are all interested in sharing practical knowledge about social media. Appealing, for several reasons. Not only would it be open and inclusive (when was the last time folks from four competing agencies collaborated on anything?), but the focus would be on a topic that we knew would command a lot of interest. Oh, yes, there was also talk about beer....
We liked the idea so much, we decided to act on it. Third Thursday kicks off next week on April 20 (i.e., next Thursday) at Fanny & Alexander in Palo Alto. Featured guest is Michael Arrington, author of TechCrunch, a top technology blog. To sign up, go here. For more details, go to Mike Manuel's excellent post about this event. Hope to see you there.
For folks coming in from SF: Fanny & Alexander is near the CalTrain station.
I'm kicking myself for living on the wrong coast. ;)
It's a brilliant idea. I wish I could be there, and I look forward to reading about how it goes.
