Recap of: Breakfast with Jeff Pulver (and Friends) in Providence, RI

I thank Joe Cascio (@joec0914) for suggesting to me on twitter to add Providence, RI to the list of cities to host a breakfast for my friends from the world of social media. And special thanks to Sara Streeter for contacting Brickway on Wickenden and securing us a spot for our breakfast.

On the way to Providence I decided to start broadcasting on BlogTv and I ended up continuing to broadcast on BlogTV during our breakfast. This was a first for one of my breakfasts. And it was kind of cool to be able to share the breakfast with the people who dropped by the broadcast.

I enjoyed catching up with: Hilary Mason, Sara Streeter, Jeff Glasson, Joe Cascio, Adam Darowski, Randy Cole, Pamela O'Hara, Joyce Bettencourt, Andrew Shearer and Patrick Dyl. Joining us remote via BlogTV were a number of people including: TracyLee (@bStarrGazr) in Nashua, NH and Kory Kessel (@koryk) in Paris, France.

During breakfast as a group we spoke about defining a social media term for “Becoming real-world friends after first connecting with someone online.” This discussion is continuing around the blogosphere and on Facebook.

After breakfast, I joined Hilary Mason, Sara Streeter, Joyce Bettencourt Randy Cole and Patrick Dyl for a tour around Johnson & Wales University, the site of NewBCamp08, hosted by Hilary and Sara which will be taking place Saturday, February 23rd in Providence, RI.

Special thanks to EVERYONE who came out for breakfast. I look forward to host another event in Providence in the Spring.
