Alex,
It’s also your vision and hard work that makes these meet ups a success. I’ve been to a few Refresh Miami and SMC gatherings and they keep getting better and better. Thanks!

Great post. I remember starting blogging just over two years ago and I felt all alone.

I have a good amount of tech friends in Seattle and Silcon Valley area so they helped me “become a geek.”

It’s really interesting to see this movement gain momentum in South Florida.

Alex, remember the tweetup with Gaping Void on Lincoln Road? We have so come a long way since then! It does not cease to amaze me — the flow between online social networking and real life here in South Florida.

Alex,

Great history lesson and lesson in general about the value of community building. It may take a community to raise a kid, but it takes a committed, passionate person to raise a community, and South Florida has been very fortunate to have YOU as that person! Congratulations on a great beginning, and for building a terrific platform here for a great future as well.

Hola Alex;

Having moved to SOFLO from Boston nearly six yrs ago, I missed the vibrant business / technology commmunity centered around Harvard / MIT on the banks of the Charles.

While I have sold enterprise software for ten years, I have only been involved in social media for a year or so. I have attended technology meetings here in Broward and interacted with people worldwide only through several soc media networks.

It wasn’t until I serendipitously learned about the South Florida Social Media Club and attended my first meeting at Broward College in downtown Lauderdale several months ago, that I met a roomful of interesting technology / business people in the flesh.

Since then, I have attended a number of soc media meetings, always meeting new and interesting people, last night’s pizza tweetup being my first pizza meeting.

I want to thank @lapp, you, and the others who take the time out of their busy schedules to organize these fantastic meetings.

It’s through your collective generosity and warm hospitality that these meetings take place, and all of us are provided the opportunity to learn about the tremendous human capital hiding behind all those designer sunglasses, shorts, and different accents from near and afar.

I take my Red Sox hat off to everyone.

Here’s to a bright future in our tropical paradise here in SOFLO.

Salud !!

Warm regards,

Keith
