Last night I had the good fortune of attending the social media dinner at the Coach and horse in London. It was yet another opportunity to meet people like Lloyd, Sizemore, Phil Campbell, Deek, Rupert Howe, Jess and many other seesmic participants. It was also my opportunity to meet some new people.
I met Vinvin and Johann from Seesmic for example. They’re part of the Seesmic team in San Francisco. Loic Lemeur arrived a little later so it was great to meet him to. It’s not everyday (well actually it’s almost everyday) that you meet CEOs of startups.
It was also Phil Campbell’s birthday so that added a little something to the party. He presented a new method by which to use eesmic which looks interesting although at this moment in time it is more proof of concept and I’ll wait until it’s developed further before discussing it in depth.
I was able to try out the Nokia N95 layout and user interface for seesmic on that night. Loic lent me his phone and I was able to record and post one seesmic post. So far I still think it’s a little slow so i prefer to use the web interface.
I got to meet the charming Kittenfluff (unless it’s an imposter as is alleged in a seesmic video from the early hours of this morning;-)) and had a nice time chatting with her and playing around with two laptops, two seesmic accounts and a little seesmic camera ping–pong. I also got an exclusive interview about some mysterious january flies and why the London light is the paper of choice to use as a fly swatter
There’s a great picture of me taken by Thayer
Take note that There’s seesmicAIR and Seesmic being used in this shot.
Two speeches were made, one by Loic Lemeur and the other by Gapingvoid (Pardon the poor sound quality.)
There’s one of Sizemore’s videos too.
Fooz, Giagia, Jason Jarrett and two or three others were present but I did not get to interact with them as personally for this event.
This is a fun group of people are fun to interact with and I’m happy I went to the event. i hope to have many more to look forward to.

It was lovely last night, I’m surprised your up and logging so early today though…you had quite a bit to drink 😉
Maybe Trafalgar Square has that effect on you!
i always wake up early after a good night out. Enjoying the fresh air today :-). What time did you end up leaving last night?
Well it all ended in tears for me actually as I was locked out of the flat and was pretty stranded til my boyfriend actually woke up and let me in…about 2am. It was a nightmare!
heh, at least it wasn’t such a cold night. Luckily that doesn’t happen too much.
For the moment plurk ups don’t exist, probably won’t until there are enough users for a meetup of plurk users to take place.
As to the tuttle that’s a meeting of social media people in London, Brighton or birmingham. It’s a good event to go to if you’re looking for conversation, business opportunities and more.
It’s a bit like social media cafe but for Europe.
