words and pictures by Brian Solis
New York’s Internet Week just raised the bar and set the new standard for up-and-coming regional Web economies.
During the week, New York was host to several events and parties, and I was lucky enough to attend a few of them.
Mashable’s Exhibit Hall at Touch on Friday night was representative of the excitement and enthusiasm that is driving the social economy in New York and why it’s only getting started.
The people, the technology, and the relationships…it’s pretty powerful and compelling.
The pictures vividly captured the spirit, hope, and excitement and will help tell the rest of the story.
