Jeff Pulver’s breakfast (with friends) in NYC

This morning I was at Breakfast with Jeff Pulver and friends. A supremely interesting and entertaining event with 101 people at Friend of a Farmer near Union Square.

When you enter, you are presented with your social networking toolkit:

which is two large name tags and bunch of small stickers for real-time social ‘tag’ging. You write down “cool”, “new york”, “internet video”, etc. on the small stickers and quite literally put them on people you are talking to, a very entertaining and quite literal social tagging experience. I think it’s brilliant, I felt the urge to tag everything on the way home on the subway “nice shoes”, “annoying ad”, etc :)

One thing of note was I had a chance to meet and chat with David Troy of TwitterVision fame. Unype shares a lot of characteristics with Dave’s work (which also includes FlickrVision and the new spinvision.tv). TwitterVision and FlickrVision are also featured at the new MOMA exhibit, Design and the Elastic Mind, definitely check it out.
