Jon, at AustralianBlogs has come up with a great idea. Australia has a bunch of bloggers, but we’ve got a major issue with land size. So that means we all can’t actually meet.

Jon’s idea is to have a Virtual Meetup, so he’s organised one.

It got me thinking that perhaps we could complement the face-to-face meetups with a virtual one, i.e. via a chatroom-style approach hosted by AustralianBlogs where users can do the meet-and-greet but also break out into user-created rooms for some private chit chat (where appropriate).
Let’s set an informal virtual meetup on AustralianBlogs Chat on the second Wednesday of every month starting on the 10th of January 2007. From 8pm AEDST till late. Users can come and go as they please.

Thank god for Daylight Savings in WA I say :).

Things have been busy with my new web startup, Web2Thing, so much so that it’s now known under its official name: Scouta.

A couple of weeks ago we migrated the weblog to blog.scouta.com, we’ve shown off a little bit of the design, and today we’ve launched an email sign-up form for those who might want to be notified of updates, or be invited into the private beta we’ll be running in the next couple of months.

So, if you’re keen, swing over to Scouta and add your email, or just keep an eye on the blog.
