Two Thumbs Up for SF New Tech
We had a GREAT time at SF New Tech last night–thanks to Myles and the crew for hosting such an awesome evening.
The club was packed with more than 200 movers and shakers in the local startup community, as well as a few VCs and journalists–including the New York Times’ Brad Stone, who had some hard-hitting questions for us about the future of media and the role sites like MeeHive play in a well-informed society.
If you haven’t had the chance to check out some of the other startups who presented last night, several of them are definately worth a look. One of our favorites was Famililink, which has created a site that makes it easier for elderly people and those who aren’t technically inclined to keep in touch with family email messages, videos, pictures and calendars. One person in the audience suggested that they should also integrate MeeHive into their offering, to add personal news to the mix. (And, no, we didn’t plant someone to say that.)
We finished the night with a Kosmix Lucky Twit giveaway. In the true spirit of “Wheel of Fortune,” some folks in the audience even chanted, “No whammy! No Whammy! No Whammy!” when we’d spin the tweets to pick a winner. Congrats to the lucky tweeter who went home with the FlipCam–enjoy!
Jennifer Simpson took some terrific photos of the event–check them out here. Here’s a sample of some of her cool pics:
