Comments on: OpenSocial in London http://eu.techcrunch.com/2008/04/07/opensocial-in-london/ Tracking European web and mobile start-ups Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:55:00 +0100 hourly 1 By: Dan Lester http://eu.techcrunch.com/2008/04/07/opensocial-in-london/comment-page-1/#comment-126813 Dan Lester Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:11:12 +0000 http://uk.techcrunch.com/2008/04/07/opensocial-in-london/#comment-126813 The event was very well organised, and all good fun. I could only make it mid-afternoon, but it sounded like there was a lot of coding help earlier on. For someone working closely with Open Social, it was a unique opportunity to meet the 'faces behind the emails' of a lot of the Google team (plus Myspace). The snow meant there were a few name badges left on the desk, and quite a few pizzas each, but I don't think anyone was disappointed with the turnout. Probably many more would have come if it wasn't organised at such late notice. Apparently, it was going to be organised for a few weeks time, but the Google people were coming to Europe for ApacheCon this week anyway, so they brought it forward.
