Text 100 sponsored the first Social Media Breakfast NYC today along with  Converseon.

About 30 people interested in all different aspects of social media gathered to hear Eric Krangel, who reports from the virtual world of Second Life under the avatar Eric Reuters, discuss how he sees social media affecting traditional media and communications.

In addition to the conversations at the diner, there was a bit of banter over Twitter as well.

This morning was a reminder that face-to-face meetings are an important part of building relationships, even as we continue to expand our connections through social networks.

There’s group of smart, vibrant people working with social media here, and I’m glad we could all connect for the first of what I hope will be many occasions.

Thanks to everyone who participated.
