Wow, even with the threat of storms and the last minute change of venue, there were at least 300-400 people who attended the meet up. It was great to meet a bunch of new startups working on Mobile Device Apps, and also some who were working on the interaction between work and play. The other very interesting group of people I talked with are those doing work around analytics and social media. While I didn’t remember to get a card from all the people I talked with, a few local groups that I did remember to get are here (not in any particular order):
Archive Social – A company that specializes in allowing people in regulated industries to use social media
S.T.E.N.C.I.L – A developer of software for education to help improve outcomes for at-risk students.
Urban Planet Mobile – Local developers helping people learn new languages.
I am really looking forward to learning more about each of these groups, as well as the upcoming App development class that Paul Jones, from UNC and iBiblio.org, is working on. Exciting times.
