After a very successful event at Hyves, the Amsterdam Lunch 2.0 now heading to eBuddy this Friday. As Google’s 7th fastest rising search term, the web-based IM platform is obviously doing a lot right. For those in the neighborhood, come on by!
What? It’s a whole new year and we’ve yet to have a Lunch 2.0 in SoMa? Given how many Web 2.0s are there, that’s almost criminal.
Please join video search startup, CastTV for Lunch 2.0.
Hosts: CastTV
Address: 374 Brannan St, Suite 600. San Francisco, CA 94107
Date: Friday February 1, 2008 noon-2pm

Enjoy some free food, check out their video search engine, and meet some cool people. Tell them about what kind of video you like to watch online (and how you’re staying entertained during the writers strike!) They’re easy to find @ 374 Brannan St/3rd and look forward to meeting you!
I put more pictures on flickr and on Facebook. (On the Facebook album guests can tag themselves so you’ll know who they are.)

ChipIn surprised the attendees by announcing their selection to launch a new Widget authoring platform at the DEMO conference. When asked about the new product, Carnet, CEO of ChipIn said, “Sproutbuilder enables anyone to quickly and easily build sophisticated promotional widgets.” I guess we’ll have to wait until Jan 28th to see what he means! In the meantime, you can sign up here for a beta account and see what Carnet has to say on his new Sprout Blog.
Leading up to the event there was a great number of colorful regrets in attendance from the Facebook event page (on the right are a few of my favorites). For fans, you can add Lunch20Hawaii to FB here.
Rachel from HiBEAM says, “…if you are looking to do something cool with high tech in HI, we encourage you to contact us and see how we can be of value to you.”
