This morning we attended the Social Media Café event at the Coaches and Horses pub in Soho. The idea behind the event is to bring together people with an interest in social media whether bloggers, content creators, developers, teachers, students, tool makers, and anyone other interested collaborators.

Although this event was initiated by Lloyd Davis, a blogger on the Social Media scene, it is a partly self-managed affair where anyone with an interest in social media can contribute to its future development via the wiki. It’s a good example of how offline events can help sustain online relationships. Perhaps in not-too-distant future BView will be able to host their own “offline” events to enhance the “online” community. Suggestions for the 1st BView meet-up anyone??

As always, the value of this kind of event is to see how other people are building/nuturing their communities; exploring potential business opportunities with people working in similar areas and perhaps more importantly spreading awareness of the BView site with REAL people! Definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in these areas.
