One is local and we meet up for drinks every 2-3 weeks. It was initiated by one of the others in the group.
The other is online and focused on WordPress products (plugins and SaaS services). We meet about every month and we'll see each other in person at a conference in October.
Both are pretty small right now (3 of us in each), but we'd probably do 4 if another person fit in.
I started up the 2nd because of the focus on WordPress and a little more frequency of connecting with like-minded entrepreneurs.
I like the idea of more regular spontaneous chats on hangouts or campfire though, especially if guys like bdunn and patio11 are doing it.
There's nothing quite like discussing startup challenges with other single founders. And where else can you talk at length with the speakers in small groups at lunch and over drinks?
Now...time to get some work done so I have plenty of questions and a few landing pages to get critiqued by April 30.
I haven't had cable or satellite for 4 years, so this rings true for me. I go to bars or friends' houses to watch MNF, or I just skip more of them these days. Other than that, there's no way to get the current episodes of Dexter online without subscribing to Showtime.
Funny thing is...I'd pay for both MNF and Dexter a la cart on iTunes/Amazon if it we're available. As it stands, neither networks get any of my money. But the local bars do :)
Been moving all domains gradually from GoDaddy to Namecheap over the last year. Much faster to login, navigate around and get things done in Namecheap.
