Tonight, as I endeavor to update my burgeoning SNS Meta List, I find a tip from a reader, Aaron, on GeekDinner.com—a service that 'opened to the world' last month (18 June 2004).

Face-to-Face meeting facilitation sites are among my favorites. And, being a geek of sorts myself, I am drawn to the description for this service:

geekdinner.com is all about helping you, the geek, to set up a geek dinner. We plan to provide dinner organisers, a calendar of upcoming dinners, reminder tools, a list of possible venue's and interactive maps on how to get to them, area based weblogs for telling the world about your geek dinners, a moblog for all to take part in and you will be able to access all of this from your desktop, your PDA and even you mobile phone. Well…that's the plan at least…

Geek dinners usually take place concurrently with conferences—in fact they are often the best thing about conferences… (-:=
