Web 2.0 Mapping and Social Networks Group

Greetings! My name is Catherine Burton and I am your organizer. Thanks for your interest in our group. We're glad you're here.

Our group is about sharing, teaching, learning, and networking around current and future web-related geospatial and social networking applications and technology. We meet regularly on the third Tuesday evening of every month at Google in Silicon Valley, California. For two hours we build fellowship around web 2.0, mashups, maps, programming, GIS, entrepreneurship, LBS, imaging, social networks, well-funded and unfunded companies, and other goodies.

Presentations run the gamut of our community: from hardware to web-based applications, hackers to scientists, start-ups to billion-dollar companies. Most of all this Meetup is an opportunity for people who spend a lot of time facing screens to face each other and talk about what flies and fails in tech.
