New York Tech Meetup now has 10,000 members. First up is UpNextNYC, a 3D application which I actually downloaded last weekend.

Central is an application that shows you where you are in Social Networks, intergrates with Facebook and Twitter, ETC, works on most mobile platforms and 410,000 users worldwide.

NYSenate.Gov is using Social Networking to expose the workings of NY State Government and there is a Barcamp taking place this Friday in Albany.

LiveStream is based and funded in NYC and used WOWZA, which I wrote about recently when I met the founders of WOWZA for breakfast at Streaming Media East over at the Hilton Hotel.

LiveStream has some pretty cool technology for demos and even games (game).

Aviary.com is an online application that allows you to create graphical content directly from the browser without any desktop software. An API for Aviary allows sites to create content directly. You can run your own contest using Aviary.com. An online Audio Editor is going to be released soon. Aviary works with Schools to provide students a inexpensive way to create content and collorate.

MakerBot Industries makes kits that creates machines, it’s a 3D Printer. You get a 3D file (ie: from Sketchup); the software is all open source. Normally this type of 3D Printer costs 25,000.00 USD, but MakerBot costs 750.00 USD. Interestingly, not much breaks down and if you did need a part, you could print it up!!!!!

Mahalo 2.0 – Jason Calacanus – is showing his new version of Mahalo.com human powered Search. You can now go to Mahalo, create a page, and get half to keep .the adsense revenue.

New York is going to be even more full of events going on in the next 10 days or so,  some which I plan to attend, to the extent I can attend them.  In fact, things are going on this week as well, including GirlsinTech, which I attended last night at Kush in lower Manhattan.  I’m also going to GoldenNetworking.com’s Twitter Party tonight at Johnny Utah’s. Also -BarCampNYC4 – May 30-31, 2009 happens this weekend and is already sold out (but it’s free) over at the ITP facilities at New York University – I’ll be there at least most of Saturday and maybe some of Sunday, not sure if I’ll speak or not, still thinking about it.

Internet Week officially starts June 1st and I’ll probably drop by the The TechSet Bubbles Up Innovation with PepsiCo early Monday Evening and Ignite NYC 3 .  I’ve also been invited to cover MediaBistro Circus on June 2nd and 3rd, and time permitting, I’ll be at part of the event and the networking afterwards, trying to find the new directions Social Media, Search and Web Analytics is going.   There’s also New York Tech Meetup and Facebook Garage going, not sure how much I’ll be able to cover of all the things going on, again, time and workload permitting.  I’m still trying to decide what combination of sessions I can cover at The Circus that allows me the best overall experience.  We’ll see.  There’s also First Wednesday JUNE which I’ve regularly gone to.  Next Thursday, Diggnation LIVE in NYC at Webster Hall which I planned on attending  – but there’s also an Ultra Light Startup focusing on Twitter occurring at the same time, again, I’ll figure it out.

And, a good friend is dropping by next week, Gary Angel who co-founded Semphonic.com and who I’ll meet with while he’s in town – he’s also founder of XChange Conference that I’ve attended and spoken at twice, in Northern California.

What I’ll be focusing on is what is new and emerging and meaningful in 2009 and 2010 – and that’s what I’ll write about.  In a way, I would not mind covering some of this for Entrepreneur.com, where I also write, but that’s not focus of my column which is Web Analytics, solely.
