KickApps at the Web 2.0 Meetup in NYC

I was invited by Brett Petersel to speak at the New York Web 2.0 Social Networking Tech Meetup last night. It was a really well put together event and Brett was an extremely gracious host. Also presenting were Matt from CafeMom (Matt shared some amazing stats about CafeMom’s growth. AMAZING!) and Toby from Mint Digital.

I first heard of Meetup a few years ago when people were getting together prior to the elections and have recently talked quite extensively about it with Chris Keane, our VP of product management (Chris used to work at Meetup and has some great insight into viral marketing from his days there). This was the first event I attended and it was a great experience. I met some people working on very interesting sites. I hope that after hearing about KickApps they’ll see that we can add a lot of value in helping them grow and sustain engagement from their audiences :-).

Thanks again to Brett! I highly recommend this Meetup if you’re in the NYC area.
