Last night Michael and I had the privelage of attending the Mahalo Meetup. They had two presentations for us everyone to listen to. One was a discussion of what GNIP is and how it is the bridge between platforms. We also were able to listen to Chris and Kevin talk about OpenSocial.

We talked with some of the people there, exchanged a few cards, and also met another local designer/musician, Bryan Landers from The Polygon Factory (I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this name). He was really nice and very interesting - made it easy to talk with him.

Anyway, we’re excited. Really really excited. One, we feel very inspired. Two, we are just wicked happy to have gone and listened. Three, we got to actually speak and discuss Google, Apple, living in Mountain View, and a few other things with Kevin Marks. Now really, that is one awesome way to spend a Wednesday night!

Something that will sit with me forever and ever came from Kevin’s portion of the OpenSocial presentation.

Social Internet is a Cloud for his generation. Its oxygen for the younger generation (those of us here at Border7) and its a poisonous gas for the older generation.

By the way, we’ll be at WordCamp ‘08 this weekend
