Hey Elias,
One simple thing you could do is to build a planet-style aggregator of
blogs and relevant news sites using a little service I built called
aggrity.com. You could create a siliconbeach.aggrity.com and add any

Hey Guys
I'm heading back to Sydney from New York in a few weeks so am putting
together a meetup for Aussies (and friends of Aussies) working in Tech
in NYC as a last hurrah before I leave.
If you'll be in NYC on June 29th then make sure you come along.
There's a really good bunch of Aussies

to be fair to IRR.ru, they'd had a successful print edition Iz Ruk v Ruki,
which sold millions and millions of copies each week, and were notoriously
slow to embrace the internet. So the internet version of their site, while
being inspired by eBay and its likes, actually was a logical

Creating a temporary Google group called silicon-beach-jobs would be
an interesting experiment. That is, as a placeholder, during the no

Tech23 applications are due to close on the 24th of June. If you're
successful in making it into the final 23, you've got a 1 in 5 chance of
walking away with at least $25k in prize money not to mention the chance to
pitch your company to 200+ people.

We'll just keep innovating and changing the game.
Cheers,

Matthew, I think at this point it will be about out-executing the second
movers. Of which innovation will play somewhat of a part. The second mover
