“First learn stand, then learn fly. Nature rule.” - Mr. Miyagi
The great sensei must have been thinking about the internet when he said those famous words. If basic podcasting is like standing, then Waxxi’s interactive podcasts are like flying…
Earlier, I wrote about today’s Waxxi Interactive Podcast, with Jimmy Wales. I just logged off the chat and have to admit, I’m very impressed. For about 45 minutes, a group of about 200 ‘castmembers’ were treated to a personal chat with Jimmy. Questions ranged from the differences between Wikipedia and Wikia to Jimmy’s take on search algorithm transparency, politics, Google, and wiki vandalization.

There’s something in the air here on the streets on New York City. It’s a certain buzz, or electricity that can be felt. Anyone who’s been in and around the blogosphere in the past few weeks has to feel it. The NY tech community is on the verge of entering a renaissance period highlighted by the emergence of not only a slew of great companies, but more importantly, a new mindset and philosophy about its place NOT just in the tech world, but in the business world at large. The community is organizing itself rapidly, and thought leaders are taking steps to foster the collaboration and innovation necessary to elevate this relatively underrepresented ‘scene’ into a legitimate player in the NY business world.
A Blistery March NY Tech Meetup
So I’ve decided to move my monthly recaps of the NY Tech Meetup from the Netizen Newsfeed to here here on my new personal blog – hopefully I’ll write about these, as well as all the many other cool NYC events taking place here at Bootstrap’d from now on. The NY Tech scene is abuzz right now, and I hope to capture the essence of it here at Bootstrap’d. So, on with the post…
Both the mood and the weather were cold here in NY last night as we once again descended upon Cooper Union for the monthly NY Tech Meetup. It was a big week for the group, as we surpassed 3000 members – further proof of the strength of the New York tech community. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Scott offered to give away a spectacular jumbo remote from Bed Bath & Beyond to the best presentation.
