As an entrepreneur, networking is the best thing you could possibly do to either get feedback about your idea or to get an idea. Going to networking events will definitely help you make a good step in coming out with a business or can even get you a job at a startup.

This isn’t a typical day for me, but as the social correspondent for Startupism, I will summarize a fun packed Tuesday. For lunch, I went to the Lunch 2.0 held at Microsoft’s San Francisco office. The turnout was actually not as packed as normal, possibly due to the location of being at 1 Market St. It is a hard place to find parking but is nice and convenient if you work in the area or take public transportation. Microsoft promoted their new evangelist team and also gave a tour of their office. They have nice views from the windows but I used to work at Salesforce one floor above so it was nothing new for me.

 Visiting all the way from England was Alex Tew (in the middle of the picture) of the Million Dollar homepage who was in town for the week checking out the Silicon Valley Scene. The lunch concluded with an awesome blackout leaving everyone in the pitch black room for about 5 seconds.

In the evening, I started off at a Monster Cable Exclusive event for bloggers that showcased their HD and HDMI products. It was filled with a lot of Monster Cable employees that gave demos and educated everyone about their products. The main goal of the event was to create a brand awareness of their company and was overall a pretty good event. After that, I went to SF Beta which was your regular monthly networking, web 2.0 startup demo event that everyone who is into startups should go to. I missed the Powerset demo but this month drew the biggest crowd in SF Beta history with an estimated 400 people attending. In addition to all of the above, I also managed to work fulltime at my regular paying job and make a trip to the datacenter.
