As Mark mentioned Lunch 2.0 at Meebo was awesome with so many people and so Meebo, thanks for your generosity. For those that missed it, I along with the AOL Crew, were playing around with video and you can see and hear the sights and sounds of Meebo’s Lunch 2.0. Enjoy!!
Wow! We had a HUGE turnout this past Wednesday at Meebo. Major thanks to Meebo for hosting and I hope everyone who attended had a great time.
For those who missed us this time, here are some pictures 
We had at least 100 people this time around and there was lots of great discussion and networking for everyone.
Check back here often for info on our next Lunch 2.0 – or even better yet, just subscribe to our feed!
Not just interns, although since it’s the summer we wanted to extend a special invite to all the interns out here in the Bay Area
See you guys tomorrow at Meebo! (Remember to RSVP so we can make sure to get enough food; carpooling is recommended, parking in downtown Palo Alto isn’t always pleasant )
