The tech community is alive and kicking here in Silicon Valley. After beeing a couple of times to teh SF Newtech Meetup (which has become huge) I also joined the Silicon valley NewTech Meetup yesterday right here in Palo Alto at DLA Piper.
A packed room with 150+ people, some great demos and lots of networking were teh ingredients of a great evening.

David Sifry is the guy who started Technorati, right? he's not associated with Technorati anymore, or is this an additional venture for him?

The SV New Tech Meetup is great! How would you say it compares to the SF New Tech Meetup?

It's more cozy compared to the one in SF. But has all the good ingredients as well so really liked it - the right size of venue and crowd...
