In the Beginning

image
All being well, the Thames Valley Social Media Cafe (tvsmc for short) now has a blog. What better place to start than at the beginning?

A number of people in the Thames Valley area had meet up at the Tuttle Club (external link) (aka London Social Media Cafe (external link)). Inspired by the wonderful Lloyd Davis and what he has done in London, we realised that lots of people in the M3/M4 corridor / Silicon Valley would love to meet up here.

Benjamin Ellis @BenjaminEllis (external link), Neville Hobson @jangles (external link), Matt Brady @mattbrady (external link) and Drew Benvie @drewb (external link) exchanged a few tweets and the TVSMC was born. Drew put it like this (external link): "I've been to the original, London Social Media Cafe, which is on Friday mornings in Soho. The people I've met there have been such useful contacts. It's the first time I met in the flesh a lot of the entrepreneurs, media and technology innovators who I now count as either colleagues or friends."

Come and join a group of people talking and working around social media. The sign up page is on the Wiki (external link), where you'll find details of the next meeting and can add your name.

As well at the blog (external link) itself, there is an RSS feed of the calendar (external link) and of changes to the Wiki Pages (external link), to help you keep up with happenings.
