Talking about the Power of Mobile Networks I connected with a mobile network of Web Analysts in New York tonight for their last meeting till fall. After reading about Top Ranked Web Analytics Blogs I listened to Avinash Kushik’s advice on the Top 10 things distinguishing great Web Analytsts and one of those things is to belong to a virtual community called the Web Analytics Group.

As soon as I joined last weekend (thought I might have been the 2000th member to join - turned out to be someone else that joined over the weekend) I was contacted by email and invited to come and meet some of the people who work with Web Analytics in my area. In fact, this is what the note said:

——————————————————————————————–
Sorry for the short notice, but we’ll be having our last Web Analytics
Wedsnday in New York before we take a break for the summer. We’ll be
meeting at a somewhat new location, Divine Bar West. It’s where we
all met for drinks following Search Engine Strategies a few months ago.

Divine Bar West
236 W. 54th St. (Broadway/8th)
212.265.WINE

In another age, such a quick, impromptu meetup would have been impossible - but because of the power of social networks people all over the world got together tonight and talked about…….our work.

I noticed some of the people I met with worked Remotely (they don’t go into the office), and in fact, today, neither did I, opting to work from home instead. And while I could have Painted tonight I decided to do this instead. In fact, services such as MeetUp are changing the fabric of possibilities for what you can do at the last moment.
