#sgtweetup ended with mixed thoughts from those who were there that night. So what happened? Was it good? Could it have been better? And what’s the difference between #smbsg #websg #sgtweetup and Tweet! Tuesday? Let see my analysis of them all. *takes out magnifying glass*
First lets see what’s a tweetup. In my own words, its a mashed-up for meet-up that happens for people using Twitter. Hence tweetup. Simple right? So when I came to know about the first sgtweetup by @CarlGriffith, my immediate impression was, “Yeah! I’m going to meet more new people!” And that’s what happened. (For me!) I got to catch up with old friends, especially nice seeing @emoh whom I knew back in my days at Made With Love, and I met lots of new ones too! *waves!!* I regretted not getting to meet everyone there. There will be a next one I’m sure! In fact @inrsoul has already started the next tweetup with beer and tapas on 21 May! (Sorry guys, can’t make it for this one. Heading to BKK the next day.)

Attended my first Web Standards Group Singapore Meetup at SMU on Thursday night. Organised by Lucian. There I see some familiar faces namely Coleman, Jon, Nick, Victor, Kelvin, QQ, Clauds, Hisham and some guys from Qais. Also met Lucian for the first time, Jussi and Andy Croll too. All three I’m following in Twitter.
This group of people at WebSG meetup, I really respect and want to stay in regular contacts with. They all have great thoughts and mind for good web designs and want to make the web a better place. As a user, I curse everytime I have to make myself go through an entire website and failed to find the content I want. And the many examples brought up during Andy Croll’s sharing, I totally agree, they have to do something about it. Many are major players in the web and media scene! Shame on them! (Perhaps that’s why I rarely use their sites.)
