Google API's-Why should a PHP guy or gal care about it?

Hello Friends,

As you know, we've been having meetups every 2nd and 4th tuesday of the month. However, with the summer season, we think its important for all of us nerds to get a little outdoors time. We're slimming it down this season and running our meetings just once a month - the 2nd tuesday of every month. This means the next meet up is june 8th - schedule coming out shortly.

Our meetup on 5/11 was a round table discussion that I facilitated. Members of the group were lead through the discussion with topic suggestions and contributed their experiences, tips and tricks, and which tools they frequently use.

I took the following notes during the presentation.

----
Acquire new jobs
-network with people who bring jobs
-facebook page for their company - just basic pr there
-never burn any bridges
-pro bono non profit work <-- where they learn to use the tool
-update social networking, linkedin, twitter, etc.
