What is SNTTT, Web 2.0 Lab and Facebook Garage?
For those of you who are wondering, it stands for: Social Network Theory Think Tank.
It’s a support group organized by Darcy Whyte that meets roughly once per week. The group meets on different evenings in different venues but we seem to be converging on Wednesdays at 5:30pm at Pub 101 in the Ottawa, Byward Market. The speakers can influence the schedule and venue.
The format is generally a 10m social, 10m presentation and then questions and discussion. The idea is that one could just drop in and be in and out in an hour which is good use of time for a quality business networking activity.
Topics are anything that’s to do with social networks, networks, graph theory or anything of interest to people who want to understand, deploy or use social software systems.
Web 2.0 Lab:
The original intention was to branch the group adding a second area of interest which is the Internet and other programming that is involved with social systems. That could be anything from AJAX to PHP to BlackBerry programming. What seems to be emerging is that we have some speakers with this interest area and others under the network theory side.
Ottawa Facebook Garage:
Also hosted is an official Facebook developer support group. This will probably live in it’s own schedule (likely chained onto the Think Tank schedule).
