Lunch 2.0 at Yahoo!’s new Mission College Campus went pretty well. It was a bit rainy today around noon, but we got in a good tour of the new buildings and a tasty meal.

Check out the rest of the photos on flickr. Watch this blog for announcements of our next Lunch 2.0 gathering!

This was our quazi first Lunch 2.0 gathering (I say quazi becuase TyChay wasn’t there)! Adam took a picture on his Treo; in the future we’ll be photo documenting much more. I seem to be making a strange face… hmmmmm

Hello everyone. Here’s the definition of Lunch 2.0:

a social phenomenon referring to a migration of web 2.0 company employees to other offices around the Silicon Valley area; characterized by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share food and ideas, and “the lunch as a conversation”

As we roam around to different offices, we’ll be keeping this blog up to detail our adventures and our growing group. Anyone who attends a Lunch 2.0 is eligible to become a contributing writing on this blog and everyone who reads this blog is implicitly invited to all Lunch 2.0 events

Welcome to Lunch 2.0… you are now free to eat around the valley.
