SWAB (Social Webloggers Around the Bay)

Ok. It's done. I've created a social group for bloggers. And journalers. And diarists. And online personal publishers. And anyone else who uses the in-ter-net. Heck, my roommate's coming along, and she doesn't even have a website!!

I have hopefully avoided all most flame wars and unnecessary discussion by making an executive decision regarding the name, email address, and purpose. It's called SWAB (Social Webloggers Around the Bay). I really don't want to hear about the exclusive nature of the word Weblogger - it worked with the acronym, ok? My other option was BESI (Bloggers' Excuse for Social Interaction), but as funny as I thought that was, I thought SWAB was better. As stated above, it's for anyone interested in meeting and hanging out with people who write on the web. There are no limits on joining and the only limitation I'd put on posting is that events should take place in the San Francisco Bay area.

This is not intended to compete with any other group for members or purpose. This is casual, and social only. If you're interested in meeting new people and having access to an easy way to get groups together, this is a good resource.

Go join SWAB. We'll have a blast.

ps
someone mentioned to me that it sounds like we're all little pirates. I'll see what I can do about getting lots of eye patches for the first event.
