Daryl: Well, I'd like to think it's more open, and not tied to any organization. Not knocking Ping.sg or anything. But for example, I'm not a member of Ping.sg. So if they have an outing, chances are I wouldn't know about it or be a part of it. So it's more or less limited to the members of the network. And it would be less open to newcomers, like Hun Boon, the guy who does bamboo flooring. At least that's what I would think.

Brad: Yeah, there's no reason why we can't have both, but personally, I see the interesting discussions as a natural by-product rather than the original main focus, if that makes sense.

Hey dude,

I agreed with you SMB is a great event for meeting and making new friends with like-minded people.

Its like we know people online but we never met them, and this event provides the platform for us to know each other from online to offline.

As for the interesting discussions, i guess like you say when many people who are intelligent and passion abt their respective fields, we will definitely have different type of conversations, and i think this is great as we get to know more things, and i don’t see why we cant focus on building friends, and having interesting discussions at the same time.

Cheers
Brad

But if it’s just to be “social”, what’s the compelling reason to come for this? For eg if the Ping.sg community has an outing on friday night (which is “social”), and our brekkie is on sat morning, there has to be a differentiating factor other than “oh we can see the same ppl again”.
