mesh Meet-Up Rocked the House

The mesh meet-up last night was a rousing success with the Irish Embassy pub teeming with more than 100 people. It was great to see such a great turnout – something that reflects the growing excitement within the local Web community. (or at least their enthusiasm to hoist back a pint or two!) The highlight was Rob Schaumer’s embrace of b5media’s Darren Rowse, who had mentioned the idea of needing a hug when he arrived in Canada after a long journey from Australia. Personally, it was great to finally meet people such as Tony Hung (Deep Jive Interests) and Ben Mercier. In terms of mesh ‘07, we got lots of terrific feedback/suggestions about speakers and panels.
Update: It looks the term “off the record” could be joined by “off the blog” as a tool used by people to indicate their comments are not for public consumption. I’ve heard “off the blog” so often recently,  I’ve started to use it myself now…:)
