I attended the Women Web 2.0 - Startup Essentials http://www.women2.org/october-2009-startup-essentials/ last night, a three part series covering three core components of running a successful business: Product Development, Law, and Public Relations. I've received many of their LinkedIn Group invites and yesterday's course was my first time attending one of their events. It was refreshing to attend an all women group since the past couple of workshops and events that I attended comprised of men and women. Not there's anything wrong with that but the dynamics of an all women group fosters a more supportive, engaging and collaborative atmosphere. I must preface that men are also welcome to attend these events. Christina Pearson, Attorney for Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw & Pittman conducted the Legal Night workshop. She thoroughly covered various topics from the types of companies (Partnership, LLC, Corp) and funding to employee status and intellectual property. I won't b...

My head is still buzzing from my entrepreneurial networking trek across the bay yesterday. I attended the Union City - Hayward Chamber of Commerce Expo, the cities' first ever joint venture. My second stop was a Berkeley Meet Up - Entrepreneur Camp; Small Business Academy. It was my first time attending these events. Although I was tired, sweaty and hungry my from mini road trip, I left these events pumped for more. The Union City - Hayward Chamber of Commerce Business Expo, is a first ever partnership between the neighboring east bay cities. Mt. Rose Hospital provided the The Big White Tent which housed more than 200 exhibitors from the business, educational, non-profit, and green communities. Two companies that stood out for me is Gerry's Grill, a Filipino barbecue chain restaurant and a multimedia production company, dualstar.digital. I was impressed by the variety and quality of merchandise and 10 year run managed by only three employees. Union City's Gerr...

Hmmm, it's 2:25 PST and I still can't access my email. Instead I get an error message. Three hours ago Google acknowledged the problem which apparently is a global issue. Oh-oh. http://www.informationweek.com/news/internet/google/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=219500837 Who else out there is griping? On Twitter, Facebook, SMS, etc.???
