Mobile Monday London (redux)

Wow! I think I tapped some kind of latent market demand, because Mobile Monday London looks like it’s really set to take off. So far 61 people have expressed interest in the event and joined the Yahoo group we are using to get organized. We had a good organization call today to get things moving and it looks like we’re going to have a very interesting kick-off meeting on the 7th of November. If you’re interested in attending, please join the Yahoo Group to get all the details.

The Frickin’ Tube

The Tube logoGreat. Now the Northern Line is broken. That’s me and about half a million other commuters in London out of luck. The thing with the Tube is that when it works, it’s great. But if anything goes wrong, any little thing at all, the whole system collapses in on itself — huge delays, crowds of angry commuters on the trains and on the platforms. That’s because The Tube is a system at capacity and being run at its limit of efficiency. Thankfully, I have the option of working from home today so I don’t have to get caught up in it, but a lot of people don’t have that luxury. By the way, when the Tube drivers say the trains are unsafe and the management (London Underground) says they are, I’m fairly likely to believe the drivers &mdash the people that actually work the trains and are responsible for the safety of the passengers. LU needs to get its act together.

Mobile Monday London

So I’m tired of reading about all the fun these folks are having over on the left coast, so I’ve decided to try to start a “Mobile Monday” networking event for London. First event possibly to be held November 7. Watch this space for more.
