There's something happening here

David Beisel is right, there is definitely something happening in Boston. Last night's RSS Alley Geek Dinner was a big step up in energy from last month. There were about 30 to 40 people, and the energy level was awesomely high. I can't remember the last time I saw such an animated set of conversations. It wasn't the "we're all going to be rich" vibe of the Dotcom, it was more like a group of people who are really into what they are doing. On the money side, there were several people announcing that they were hiring, and one guy said he just got funded and was looking to hire 10 people right away. The funniest thing was that this announcement actually was viewed as a negative sign of a bubble by some people. I'm afraid that there is an entire generation for whom the Dotcom crash was their Great Depression. They will never be able to get over it. I just don't see what is happening now as the same thing as the Nineties, but I can safely predict that by this fall there will be a hiring boom for Web people in the Boston area.

The next Boston area Geek Dinner will be held on March 29th, from 6:30 to 9:30. Since the last dinner, a lot of us have started calling this region RSS Alley, so this event has been renamed as the RSS Alley Geek Dinner. Pito Salas created a page on Evite to handle the RSVPs, and Bela Labovitch is offering the TopTenSources office space at 66 Church Street in Harvard Square again. The last dinner was a lot of fun. I hope you can join us. Everyone is welcome for free pizza and beer.

There is so much activity based on RSS and OPML in the Boston area, that it seems appropriate to start calling it RSS Alley. I've even created an RSS Alley map. Along with locations for companies and bloggers, there are many points of historical interest, including the site where Dave Winer lived while working on RSS and blogs at Harvard. Please email me (adam AT darwinianweb DOT com) if you have any additonal locations for the map.
Update: The details on how this map was constructed are available on my mashup blog.
