Metaversed Partners with InformationWeek / Dr. Dobb's on Geek Meet Events

Metaversed.com's regular Geek Meets have been growing and growing of late. What started as a loose weekly get together of bloggers, journalists and new media types to discuss business and technology in the Metaverse, has become a jam packed weekly hub of information and discussion that regularly maxes out the SIM. With the aim of making our meets even better, and bringing you even more discussion and networking opportunities, we've partnered with our friends over at CMP Media, publishers of Dr. Dobb's Journal and Information Week who will now be co-sponsoring, and providing technical and logistical support for the group.

Many of you will know Mitch Wagner, who regularly blogs about Second Life on InformationWeek, and is also a prolific Twitter'er. Mitch and I have been discussing business and technology issues in the virtual world for some months now, and it was through him that I was introduced to John Jainschigg of Dr. Dobb's and Rissa Maidstone, who put together the recent Life 2.0 inworld event. The addition of these guys to the Geek Meet team will not only give us a dedicated space to host the events, but also give us text bridge capability, voice, and raise the profile of our discussions even further.

We'll be announcing the speakers for this Friday's meet later in the day, and you'll be able to stay abreast of upcoming schedules by joining the Metaversed group inworld, following the site here, by subscribing to our RSS Feed or joining the InformationWeek group inworld.
