Tweetup 4 Report
The Meetup-whose-name-no-one-knows is over. And it was a cool tweetup. It was the first tweetup where the new people out numbered the regulars(except for the very first Cochin Tweetup(obviously(wow – several levels of nested brackets(what’s this? Lisp?(geek joke))))). One of the main reason provided was excessive partying the right before. 10 points to anyone who can guess who gave that excuse.
Attendees
Here are the guys you made it(let me know if I have forgotten anyone)…
Regulars
- @binnyva – Blogs at Binny V A
- @zeqox – Ranjith K Avarachan
- @frank_einstien
- @vivzy – Scribbles of a Loafer
First Timers
- @ManiKarthik – Daily SEO Blog (a regular for Cochin Blogger Meets – but technically a first timer in a Tweetup)
- @pranavashok – GetAudio
- @avgs – Idioteque
- @chickooiyer – Chickoos
- @JuwalBose – Juwal Bose Says
- @ArunBasilLal – Million Clues (side note – he has written an awesome introduction to twitter.)
- and of course, the ‘chief guest’ of the event – @amooma / Pena kathi (Pen knife).
We also have a couple of non Tweeters…
@maneshManesh- Jevan (@JuwalBose’s bother)
Regulars, we cannot let this tread continue. Please come for the upcoming tweetups. The good news is, at great personal cost, I have converted all the first timers into, well, non-first-timers. They won’t be a threat to us anymore. You’re welcome.
Pictures
Sorry – but we did not do a big group photo this time – this is the best we could manage…

Discussion
- No WiFi – once again.
- Strike one for Mr. Murphy.
- @amooma
- If you don’t know Amooma yet, here you go – Amooma Vs Sony Ericson. It was a huge hit on Twitter. Welcome to the gang Amooma.
- Paypal
- Flash vs HTML5
- Stuff of nightmares for @JuwalBose, a flash game developer.
- What to order
- Linux Vs Windows
- Happens at almost all Tweetups now. I has become a tradition for us.
- #Binny/MWM
- Another tradition. Started by an evil person I will leave unnamed *cough* @sid88 *cough*
- Wordpress
- Wordpress Plugins, Wordpress 2.8, Wordpress this, Wordpress that
- RSI, Ergonomics and Dvorak
- Qwerty #fail!
- The upcoming Russian Film Festival
- Many of us Cochin Tweeps will be attending.
- The upcoming raid
- #operationraidbinny for the uninitiated
- SEO, Bing
- ManiKarthik was with us. So its expected I guess.
- Much Much More…
- You should have attended to know the inside-circle secret stuff.
Abandon Barista?
First off, big kudos to @sid88 for getting us a reserved place at Barista – would would have been stuck without that.
But IMO, its time to abandon Barista as a meetup location – for many reasons…
- They cannot accommodate our numbers. Even if we get chairs from nearby tables its hard.
- Too noisy – lots of other people around.
- Really, really bad
musictunesoundnoise. - Its perhaps the most expensive joint in Cochin
The other possible locations are…
- Take one(my votes goes to this)
- Food Court, Bay Pride Mall
- Food Court, Oberon Mall
- Some open community space(the walk way behind Bay Pride Mall for example)
- Suggest your own location. I spent most of my time at home – I don’t know many outside-my-home places.
Please let us know your opion about this issue in the comments or on twitter.

Cochin Tweetup 3 Report
Third Cochin Tweetup over – and we had a decent turn out. I thought that there will be only a few people because many said they cannot come to the tweetup. We had quite a few new faces – @fsiyavud, @roshinroy, @countroshculla and @arunbalu.

Second Cochin Tweetup: A Report
The second Cochin tweetup took place today – and it was a great Success. Success with a Capital S. We had 20 tweeps – and the whole meetup stretched to over 4 hours! Thanks goes to @sid88 for organizing the meet.
And since a picture is worth more than 1K words…
Click on anyone’s face to go to his/her twitter profile. If there is any errors in naming any guy in the above image, please forgive me. It is 1:30 AM and I was very sleepy when I was making it. Just put a comment at the end of the post and I’ll fix it as soon as possible.

One last thing – regardless of what anyone is saying, we did NOT create any new hashtags. None. Zero.
First Kerala Tweetup Report: Cochin Tweetup 1
The first Cochin Tweetup happened on 9th March 2009 at Barista, Bay Pride Mall, Menaka. Live twitter update was done by the guys with mobile – @remzology, @maravind, @kg86. Until we get a place with a decent (and hopefully free) wifi connection, only mobile tweets will be available.
Planning
The tweetup was the brainchild of @kg86…
quite a few off days ahead, can we have a #kochi #cochin #tweetup ?
Soon many others from Cochin responded – and we decided on the date and venue. Barista, Bay Pride Mall at Menaka, Cochin was chosen because there was a possibility of getting WiFi there. Also, it was the default venue for Cochin Bloggers meetings.
Execution
I reached the venue at 5:05 PM. I did not notice any open laptops so I assumed that I was the first person to reach the venue. After a few more minutes, I noticed a guy behind me playing with his mobile – but still no groups. Still, I was not worried – we are in Indian Stretchable Time after all.
After another five minutes or so, I noticed that the guy behind me is still lonely – and still has not ordered anything. That’s when I began to suspect that he is here for the Tweetup. One problem of the internet is that you don’t know what the guys on the other side look like – you only know what their avatar looks like. And I assure you, the guy behind me did not look like this…
So I went over and asked him if he was here for the tweetup – turns out he is Rameez Nooruddin – aka remzology. When I saw him earlier, we was playing with the mobile – yup – updating twitter. And he didn’t recognize me because I was not wearing my glasses.
Soon people began to come. I am not sure about the order – but soon @sid88, @kg86, @adheeth, @maravind, @remzology, @ronyjacob and myself(@binnyva) were at the table.
Discussion
A overview of the stuff we talked about…
- Arrest of 19-year old blogger for Orkut community against Shiva Sena

- Need for EFF Wing in India
- Mobile Browser
- stshark, bolt, ucweb, operamini, skyfire, fennec
- Mobile OS

- Name of our city – Kochi Vs Cochin Vs Ernakulam.
- Films

Did I miss out anything? If so, put that in the comments.

Outcome
Everyone who attended enjoyed the meeting. We decided to do this once every month or so. And we thought that was the end of it.
But the responses in Twitter where more than what we anticipated – there where many calls to scale up the meets to a Kerala wide operation. Finally after a tweet from Arun Basil Lal, I decided to create a site to coordinate Tweetups in Kerala.
And thus TwitterKerala.com was born.
