The Web 2.0 Mapping and Social Networks Group Meetup.com group is about sharing, teaching, learning, and networking around current and future web-based geospatial and social networking applications and technology. The group meets regularly on the third Tuesday evening of every month at Google in Silicon Valley, California. For two hours we build fellowship around web 2.0, mapping apps and tech, GIS, LBS, imaging, social networking opportunities, and other related goodies. Presentations run the gamut of our community: from hardware to web-based applications, hackers to scientists, start-ups to billion-dollar companies. Most of all this Meetup is an opportunity for people who spend a lot of time facing screens, to face each other and talk about what flies and fails in geospatial tech. Back Five Productions and Endpoint Environmental LLC are the producers of the Web 2.0 Mapping and Social Networks Meetup Group.
