I see huge potential to break our own myopia about the New York Tech Scene. This community is more than just a meetup or a Twitter digraph...

Thanks and Regards

Are they part of the scene? What about the thousands of consulting firms and software companies supporting the financial community? Are they, too, included?

Thanks and Regards

How can we work with community working tech? It needs lot many people who are really interested in this. Needs a lot of research work.

The union of the collective minds of the internet startups is truly a force to reckon with. I hope that other states would follow this startup brainstorming and reap all the benefits that such a collaboration could bring.

I feel that as a community we all owe it to ourselves to explore and challenge our notions of hat this community is and what it should be, what we want it to be.

I am glad that we can go on this ride together.

Maturing startups (revenue generating or otherwise) tend to hold on to their entrepreneurial tones, and their colors become inextricably woven into the fabric of the community. And for many, it’s comforting.

Is there even a New York Tech scene? It's really not a very techy place. Not the city at least. I can't speak for the state.

LOL David. Good points here, 2.0 is just internet innovation - but when does it become 4.0, 6.0 and beyond? Most people don't know much about social media.

Great points, Matt. It really is less about individuals and more about the collective.
I would also submit that we, as the NYC Tech Community, consider ourselves a part of an even larger collective, a global one. To a point made in an earlier post, we should be thinking about coming along side the momentum of existing communities. There is a worldwide collective of brilliant technologists out there and banding together, bridging cross-culturally, will generate awesome opportunities for everyone.

Accusations! :-)

Of course the NYTM is "only" "a part of" the NY tech community.

No one has suggested otherwise (certainly not me - EVER). And with some optimism and generosity, I think you could interpret Scott's infamous sign-off as more of a rallying cry than a claim.
"We are the NY tech community, Gruen!"

It's exciting to know there are many groups gathering to see how the NY tech industry can improve. Conversations about our industry, whether in a Google Group or around a beer-stocked-table, are positive. Let's celebrate that fact and not be worried about it.

Actions and clear vision are also helpful, since conversations inspire but don't get the work done. Having many people and many groups working to enhance the industry is also a great thing.

So, this is why I succumbed to taking the NYTM post. I was convinced -- by others -- that my actions and vision would be beneficial to the community and additive to everything else going on. People also knew I'd include as many open minded people as possible.

...and I'm already loving working with those open minded and passionate people.

Nate

PS: 35 people just stepped up to be on the NYTM Community Committee. How awesome is that? Considering several had only been to one or two NYTM events ever, I think is speaks wonders about the community as a whole, not the wee-little NYTM itself.

Matt, I like how you believe this goes beyond the egos, and, like this blog proudly suggests, its about the people!

The term "2.0" is like so 2008.

Nate,

Thanks for explaining. @yuliz and I put on the event for the very reasons you stated and, more importantly she coined (I wish I could take credit) the term "fashion 2.0" for the precise connotation that we all are having. More important than that - the fashion world is so far behind everyone in inculcating the benefits of technology that we all take for granted that we actually need the power of a buzzword to get people involved. It's working, however overused it is on the tech side of things!

Re: What makes it 2.0

innonate — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 17:41:51 -0000

Certainly the "2.0" reference for the Fashion 2.0 event makes sense... It's put on by and for folks especially interested in the intersection of tech and fashion. The 2.0 indicated the tech part of it, and specifically the tech that folks innovating in fashion are using (i.e. group blogs, crowdsourcing styles, etc).

Can "2.0" be overused? Of course.

Is it appropriate for the Fashion 2.0 group? Absolutely.

very excited about this. Hoping that this can move beyond what's already out there - all the spin and self promotion (this, coming from a PR guy). Congrats!
