Net Tuesday Philly August Meetup: Summer Ale

• Philly NetSquared

Join us for our next Net Tuesday event on August 4, beginning at 6:00 PM at Buffalo Billiards, 118 Chestnut Street. This will be the second of our Summer Ale Series, “Homebrewed Rumination”.

We’ll have an interactive discussion about what to consider when integrating social elements into a website. We’ll be looking at such themes as how a website can:

• Help people connect to one another
• Aggregate information
• Foster collaboration
• Encourage self-expression
• Reach out to the rest of the world

We’ll explore each of these themes in general, and then focus on applying them specifically to: a) Philly NetSquared’s own new, drupal-based site (phillynetsquared.org); and b) other sites represented or suggested by those who show up and participate.

In this way, we hope to accomplish two things… Let’s think together about how the new Philly NetSquared website might foster our individual and collective ideas and ambitions about “using the social web for social change”. And, at the same time, let’s talk about these principles in general, and how they might enhance your own site or cause.

So, bring your own perspective, creativity and open mind. RSVP’s are desired, but not required.
