Let’s get social! Lunch 2.0 at Ning

Filed under: Silicon Valley, announcement, food, lunch 2.0, ning — markjen @ 4:43 pm

Update 4/29: Oops, I forgot to mention this, but please RSVP by commenting on this blog entry. Thanks! :)

Sorry for the hiatus in Lunch 2.0s lately; we’ve got quite a few in the pipeline though, so watch the blog carefully over the next few weeks :)

First to announce is an upcoming Lunch 2.0 at Ning, the “Create Your Own Social Network” site.

Location: Ning, Inc.
Address: 167 Hamilton Avenue, Suite 300, Palo Alto, CA 94301
Date: Thursday, June 14th, 2007. 12:00PM - 1:30PM

In honor of our great hosts, we’ve also created a Lunch 2.0 social network on Ning.

I just set it up in about 5 minutes. Ning is super easy to use and fun to customize. I’m sure it’ll be even more fun when we’re all using it, so head on over and sign yourself up!

  80. Chocolate Gourmand Blog » Blog Archive » Deliciously Light Lemon Sorbet Says:

    [...] One of these bloggers is doing his own thingUnrelated, I am getting some pressure from a couple other bloggers, Lisa and Chris, to bring some chocolates to the next Lunch 2.0 event at Ning’s next week. Although warm weather conspired against me to make chocolate molds earlier last month, and various home improvement projects have strung me along through June, I still have 7 pounds of chocolate that I have to do something with. I’ve definitely been the oddball food blogger at past Lunch 2.0 events (it’s primarily tech-oriented), but it’s actually fun to say you are a food blogger when everyone else is geeking out. Nevertheless, it doesn’t seem to make me less of a geek. Apparently having any blog is pretty nerdy. [...]
