Delhi Bloggers Bloc Presents DBM#30 - Meetup with Shashi Tharoor

Cats: DBM, twitter| 9 Comments »

Ahoy Bloggerati and Twitterati! Here’s an opportunity you can’t afford to miss.

Meet Shashi Tharoor, one of the most charismatic leaders we have in the new parliament in an exclusive informal Meetup with Delhi Bloggers Bloc.

As you know, Dr. Shashi Tharoor, has been recently elected as the Congress Member of Parliament, from Thiruvanathapuram, and much like us bloggers & social media enthusiasts, is himself an activist and excellent writer (award-winning author of eleven books). He has put in a lifetime of work in the United Nations and was India’s candidate to succeed United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2006, and finished a close second out of seven contenders. Dr. Tharoor was also named a “Global Leader of Tomorrow” by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. You can read more about him at his official website http://shashitharoor.in/

One of his recent tweets (@shashitharoor on Twitter) will give you an idea of how he has also adapted well to the 140 character space of Twitter:

“First day in Parliament. From the sublime (the historic Central Hall for the Cong legislators meeting) to the bureacratic (8 forms to fill)!”

AGENDA

Introduction to the meet
A few words by Dr. Tharoor on his impressions of Twitter and Social Media.

Q&A with Dr. Shashi Tharoor, Congress Member of Parliament, Thiruvanathapuram.

And if time permits, informal discussion on use of social media and twitter by policy makers.

Date: Thursday, 21st May, 2009
Time: 6:00 pm to 7 pm.

Venue: The Attic, 36, Regal Building (first floor), Connaught Place, New Delhi - 110001.

DBB presents #DBM 29 - a meet for Delhi’s bloggerati and twitterati!

Cats: DBM, twitter| 5 Comments »

It’s been quite a while since we last met! India’s first WordCamp was sure the coolest event we have ever organised (and at the risk of sounding pompous) or that India’s online space has seen for that matter going by the superb feedback we received! :). We’ll be updating this blog with the details of that event soon for those who missed out on it.

We understand junta has been revving up since quite some time to have a meet but we have been in the recuperation mode after WordCamp India :). But not anymore! It’s time for the next meet (and many more to come) - DBM#29 - which is a Delhi tweetup as well as a bloggers meet. All twitterati and blogerati are invited!

Now for the real thing:

When : 9th May’09 (saturday), 5:30 pm onwards till abt 7:30-8pm.
What : get acquainted with each other. Demystify twitter for those who dont know it yet. Network, socialise, laugh, check out the venue, see the exhibition, shop, snackup, drink, tweet, blog, be merry! The venue is wi-fi enabled. Snacks and refreshments would be provided. We’ll be collecting a nominal amount of Rs. 50/- from everyone for the snacking part.
Where : The maximum store, 5-J/1, Ground Floor, Shahpur Jat, New Delhi - 110049. t#: +91 11 26493150, 46168026; Map

Please give your ayes and nayes here in the comments section or you could tweet them keeping @delhitweetup in your confirmation tweet or you could confirm in the Facebook event of our Facebook group or give your ayes/nayes in our mailing list.

For any further info please contact Twilight Fairy (Priyanka) at 9811511719
