SiliconValley NewTech Meetup – March 2009 – Party like it’s 1997

Looking forward to tonight’s lineup, I’ll keep this brief with the addition of the Job Board below – for people who are hiring or looking to be hired.  You may have noticed I’ve put a hard cap on the 150 this month, we’ll see how that goes and if there’s a better approach.  If you didn’t make it into tonight’s RSVP, you might be interested in another event today, http://laidoffcamp.pbwiki.com/SanFrancisco

With stocks dipping into 1996, it’s interesting to look back and see how much the internet has changed (and the companies).  Here’s a clip to lift your spirits, Everything’s amazing, nobody’s happy – http://tr.im/gYmn
