Ignite, Set It On Fire
I almost missed out Social Media
Week, but I got in a few days late, and I was not able to go to some choice events
I would have liked to go to. I bumped into its webpage through social media
browsing. You know how you go from people to people, link
to link, update to update. And I am so glad I was able to do 14 events during Social Media
Week. (Social Media Week: The Best NY Tech MeetUp Ever)
And now I am being introduced to Ignite. My friend Adam Carson (@adamkcarson) sent me an email
a few days back. He forwarded me this blog
post: Global Ignite Week: Starts Monday with 65 Cities, 6 Continents, 500 Speakers over 5 Days. If he figured I might like it, he figured right.
This guy said somewhere online
he was 30,000 miles above ground and the update went viral, looks like. Virgin Galactic anyone? He meant 30,000 feet. He was so psyched about having wifi
up there, he went from feet to miles. To the @ and # symbols, Twitter should add emoticons. So less people
get carried away.
Adam is a good friend of Mark Peter Davis (@markpeterdavis) who you can meet at every NY Tech MeetUp unfailingly. Nate always calls on him at the very beginning. "Is anyone from DFJ Gotham here? Mark? You there?"
"We go back a long time," Mark once said to me about Adam. Mark has a wonderful, wonderful blog. He has practically written a book on venture capital
at his blog.

Adam is up in Hanover finishing up his MBA at Tuck with his wonderful wife Anna. And he sends me this email.
New York City needs its own South By South West. New York City
needs its own Burning Man. What would be the urban
version? Modifying Dennis Crowley's (@dens) Pac Manhattan
might be a start. For now Ignite
might be it. But let's shoot for a non-sexist name.

My tweet to the organizers: See you @ Ignite. Guess 2 late 2 be Speaker. Or no? Would like to talk revolution.
My tweets
to some others who are listed as attending: Tweet 1, Tweet 2, Tweet 3, Tweet 4, Tweet 5, Tweet 6, Tweet 7.
It might be too late for me to get my five minutes
on stage, but I think it is going to be a perfect evening to meet a ton of interesting people. It is amazing to be part of the tech ecosystem
in this city. It is early stage and it is gelling.
