UPDATE 1.28.08: The February 1st Gabbly Chat has been rescheduled to 2-3 PM PST.

If after reading about the NetSquared Mashup Challenge yesterday, you have some questions, join the Mashup Challenge Live Chat with Billy Bicket and Marnie Webb of the NetSquared Team.

Have you been thinking about nominating a project for a NetSquared Innovation Fund Award but aren't sure if it is a fit? Or did you already submit a project proposal and want to know how to

Our Net2 podcast volunteers David Collin and Stace Carter are rocking and rolling this week with the podcasts. 

David posted his interview from the last San Francisco Net Tuesday with the founders of Gabbly, Teck Chia and Flora Sun.

I just embedded a chat window into the Net Tuesday page, and it took me all of 20 seconds.  Serously, that was so easy I still can't believe it!

The makers of Gabbly, that oh-so-easy chat maker that powered the NetSquared remote conference, will be participating in an on- and off-line chat for tonight's Net Tuesday.  If you can't join us in person at the Hotel Utah, join us online at 7pm PST by just going to the Net Tuesday page (it may take a few seconds for the chat to load).  

In other chat news, there's a new service from an old friend of NetSquared, Meebo (Seth presented at our 2nd Net Tuesday).  It's called MeeboMe, and it's the talk of the town.  Like Gabbly, MeeboMe is easily embedded into your website.  While Meebo is a personal 1-1 chat service and works with a variety of Instant Messengers like AIM, Gabbly creates chat rooms and doesn't require a login.  They're very complementary tools, and both free and easy ways to bring a new dimension to your website. Yay free and easy! 

 

It's that time of the month again, Net Tuesday time!  Below are details for upcoming NetSquared Meetups in San Francisco, Houston, Los Angeles and Washington, DC.  To RSVP, just join your city's NetSquared Meetup group.

If you'd like to start a NetSquared Meetup group in your city, email Gina Cardazone at gcardazone AT compumentor dom com.

Hi - If you wanna catch up with WineCmap folks, join us on the Gabbly channel here:

(By the way - the link leads to an "Error page" - but the Gabbly system works anyway....) 

So several NetSquared sessions are running using Gabbly.  That's great for me (believe it or not, I don't have an IRC client at my fingertips), and I also figured out how to create a chat room on the fly for further random conversations.  Just set up a Gabbly page on any URL - obviously, you probably want to use a NetSquared URL if talking about this conference.  See the example below:

Unfortunatley, Gabbly doesn't seem to support private messages.  Any ideas?  (Yes, besides, downloading an IRC client....  ;-))
