Wow. Since I started my little Geekout.ca initiative my perception of the Toronto web community has been radically altered. In short, there are a lot of us! Events like #hohoto brought a lot of web industry people out of the woodwork, and if you’ve been following any Toronto webbies on Twitter in the last week or so you know that there’s a movement afoot to establish an open community of like-minded web industry folk.
In my opinion, this emphasizes the need for an online place for all of us to network and collaborate. The fact that all these people live and work within a few kilometres of me, and that I, someone who tries to put a lot of effort into staying tuned in, didn’t know anything about them, is a pretty strong indication that we all need to start communicating.
If you’re on Twitter, start paying attention to #tsTO, I think this may be the beginning of something great.
