“It’s a small world” may sound cliché or remind you of a seemingly never-ending Disney ride, but I mean it this time. Soon after launching GovLive Tweets I was contacted by Steve Ressler of GovLoop, a bustling 20,000+ member social network for Government employees.
The premier social network for government
Turns our Steve and I are both Penn grads, are nearly the same age, met our girlfriends in University City and moved to the Tampa/St. Pete area where we run government information/community networks out of the same local coffee shops. How cool! We had the opportunity to sit down over a beer last night at Bella Brava in St. Pete to talk shop. In a town with a struggling tech scene, it was great sharing challenges and future plans with someone on a similar wavelength – and I wouldn’t rule out a collaboration on some level in the future.
If you are in government and somehow haven’t heard of GovLoop yet, I strongly suggest checking it out.
