I caught up with a couple of mates, Chris (of “Docoloco”:http://www.docoloco.com/ fame) and Phil last night for a beer and to see what these “MODM”:http://modm.wordpress.com/ meet-ups are all about. Neither of us had been before and it sounded interesting so we all braved the cold and set off for a look-see.

Organised by “Cameron Reily”:http://gdayworld.thepodcastnetwork.com/ and “Simon Chen”:http://blog.eightblack.com/, last night’s event was held at “Riverland”:http://www.riverlandbar.com/ which is a great little venue on the Yarra underneath Federation Square. The idea is for anyone interested in online digital media to get together, have a bit of a chat and share ideas. Yesterdays included a presentation from Robert and Mark Gabriel about their new search site/plugin, “MyLiveSearch”:http://www.mylivesearch.com/ which sounded interesting and has apparently been getting a bit of interest in the media of late. The beta is due out some time soon so watch this space…

We also got talking to “Keith Lang”:http://songcarver.com/ who, besides being a thoroughly nice bloke, is one of the guys behind “Plasq”:http://plasq.com/, makers of “Comic life”:http://plasq.com/comiclife/ and “Skitch”:http://plasq.com/skitch/. What with talking to him and Chris I’m even more tempted to switch to a mac now!

Good do. Nice people. Recommend it.
