I went along to the Mobile 2.0 drinks and met a good mix of people. Some locals, which means I now have a list of coffee places in Mission to hit. Plus, it was just over 24 hours after I landed that someone said the magic words: “So are you going to the Digg party tomorrow?” It’s a party for the election, which kills two birds with one stone. Ideal!

I also met some more industry people. It was especially good to meet the guys from mobile search engine Taptu. Ironic that we meet here given that they are Cambridge-based. I also met one of Yahoo’s mobile team and we exchanged mobile anecdotes.

Tomorrow I’m going to Mobile Tech for Social Change. A BarCamp for mobile with a social twist. It is hosted at the Google.org office in SF (not Mountain View sadly, will have to find another way to get down there).

The focus of events has been mobile so far. I’m experienced in the sector, but not wedded to it. I’m interested to see what’s going on, but there is the broader Web 2.0 Summit coming up, with all it’s associated aspects. I’m looking forward to meeting people there.
