No really!

I  use a tool called TweetDeck which amongst other things allows me a constant view on all the twitter posts from around the world on a specific search. One I have set up is for DLA Piper. Well today I find a number of posts for the “SiliconValley NewTech Meetup” which meets at DLA Piper’s Palo Alto office. It’s a “Meet with other tech enthusiasts to discuss and show-and-tell new web technologies.” For start-ups, investors, developers, and anybody else who’s interested.

Best of all Beer, wine, and pizza is provided. According to one twitter post “90 peeps, 14 pizza’s”!

My surprise at this finding is not that it’s happening, it’s an absolutely cracking idea from the Palo Alto office. But the smile I had thinking of it happening in any London law firm office 🙂 Can you imagine a developer walking into a meet up hosted by Clifford Chance for example? No nor could I.

I shall have to speak to some of my US colleagues to find out more!
