SDForum, the venerable Silicon Valley technology and networking locus, has launched a special interest group focused exclusively on search. The first get-together will be 14Sept2005 at Yahoo's (Yahoo!'s?...where's the style guide for that one?) headquarters in Sunnyvale, CA, and will feature:
- Doug Kaye, ITConversations
- Ev Williams, Founder/CEO, Odeo.com
- Eric Rice, Founder, Audioblog.com
- David Marks, Founder/CEO, Loomia.com
(Yahoo! will presumably talk about their audio search capabilities as well.)
According to Jeff Clavier, who will be co-chairing the SIG...
"The purpose of the Search SIG is to offer a communication and collaboration platform to the Search ecosystem: search engines, marketers/advertisers, users and developers. Through a series of monthly events, the SIG will cover a large diversity of topics: from the latest developments in search to the needs of brands and advertisers, through the issues and key learnings of starting, funding, building, and exiting a search company."
Kudos to SDForum, Jeff, and co-chair Dave McClure for getting this going!
Hey Chris, thanks for the post! Just one thing, the HQ is in Sunnyvale, not Cupertino.
