As part of the latest round of ad-hoc meet-ups in Dublin (Ireland) .. we decided to run another Blogger-Twitter-Whatever (BTW) meetup.
The plan is to meet in the The Church Bar (Dublin) at 7pm on Thursday 29th July. The church bar is located on Mary street. Mary street is the street that connects Henry Street with Capel street.
The event is free to attend.
We have space for up to 130 people this time round, so it would be great if you could invite some friends to register. 
more the merrier! There will be finger food and a special on drinks. Id really appreciate if everyone could give this one a big push!!
The guys over at Blacknight have offered to sponsor some drinks and our venue The Church have offered to top up the tab with some dosh! So free food and some free drinks .. what more can you ask for!
I thought it might be nice to give blacknight a plug.. so check out their offers over at http://domainoffers.me. If you are a new or existing customer you can save 20% on renewals and they have a ton of other offers on domain names. Blacknight for the win!
Waiting List
If you have registered and can not attend, please let us know as we will be operating a cancellation list.

The lives of others was an experimental blog that was started back on March 18th 2008. What made this blog compelling was an anonymous format that provided the ultimate freedom to share or to speak, to mention the unmentionable and to explore feelings and emotion. Almost two years on and the site has now closed its doors to new secrets.
The reaction in comments on the lives of others blog and on twitter has been quite strong. Many were wondering why a blog which was nominated for an Irish blog award is closing its doors. Many have speculated that the such an anonymous medium could actually cause a lot of headaches in terms of moderation. Who knows .. but RIP the lives of others.
However there is some good news. Anothers Life, a website that provides a similar format has come to the rescue. I set up the site with the aim of keeping the this medium alive. The new site has no connection with lives of others, other than the anonymous format that is used. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m sitting here looking at the 20 pages of search results for Luas Crash on twitter. Not to mention the Picture of the Luas Crash with the Luas crashing into a Dublin Bus on flikr (Viewed 11,689 times). Who needs breaking news when you have twitter?

On a slightly lighter note.. The guys over at pix.ie, in conjunction with the Irish St Patrick’s Festival are trying to muster up support for a huge photo sharing project. The project aims to help document this year’s paddy’s day festival. Genius! what better way to show the Yanks that we are still up for a good party!
As part of my patriotic duty as an Irish citizen, I would humbly like to invite every possible tourist (with a bit of Irish in them) back to Ireland for paddy’s day (17th March) . After all, where better to experience an authentic Irish festival then in Ireland. Now would be an ideal time to book a cheap flight and affordable accommodation. So why not drum up a bit of support and pass this on to everyone you know!
Check out the Irish St Patrick’s Festival (12th-17th March) and pix.ie for more info (also thank the pix.ie Sponsor, Canon) . You can follow paddy’s day via twitter at @stpatricksfest

Last week, I went to a really interesting session about hotels and bogging set up by Ciara Feely. Keith Bohanna was speaking to a group of hoteliers about promoting themselves via blogs / twitter.
I found it quite interesting that the first barrier for most of the hoteliers was the lack expertise to set up a branded hotel blog. With that in mind, I decided to come up with this offer.
For a limited time, I am offering a number of Irish hoteliers the chance to get a blog installed / customised* free of charge. To top that off.. If you are a small hotel / b&b , I will also give you a free one-to-one crash course on twitter.
If you are in the hotel space and looking for a blog I would love to hear from you. If you know anyone in the tourism space who might be interested please pass this ton to them.
