Running around trying to keep up with everyone on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and the rest of the Social Web?

Pull over at the next stop. Take a break. Vemma is setting up a new station to fuel you and the rest of the TechSet at Affiliate Summit in New York.

It’s time for another TechSet Blogger Lounge…

Join hosts Stephanie Agresta and Brian Solis as we collaborate and celebrate how far we’ve traveled and navigate where we’re going next.  Veema has outfitted the lounge with everything we need to work and play, and along with Stephanie and Brian, there will be more than enough energy to keep bloggers and affiliates techsetting around the Web.

For those looking for a great example of Social Media in action, make sure to connect with the Vemma team. They’ll share everything they’re doing to build buzz, stay top of mind, and spark conversations without having to maintain a retail presence for their awesome energy drinks.

Vemma is a privately-owned business in Scottsdale, Arizona that manufactures and distributes Verve, Shot and the newly released Vemma NEXT.

Internet Week NY 2009 has come and gone, but its legacy will carry us throughout the coming year until we convene again at IWNY 2010.

PepsiCo and the TechSet were charged with kicking-off Internet Week by bubbling-up innovation and spotlighting global entrepreneurship at the Bubble Lounge on a beautiful New York evening. Dare I say that it was bub.blicio.us?

PepsiCo has been among those companies that truly understand and consistently demonstrate the activity, engagement, and potential for genuine participation and community cultivation.

It’s about people. And, that’s serves as the very foundation for the TechSet.

PepsiCo, along with the TechSet (Stephanie Agresta and yours truly) and a venue filled with new creativity and passion , indeed commemorated the vivacity of imagination and the people who transform ideas into realty – embodying the true essence and spirit of InternetWeek.

We toasted to the artistry of innovation and basked in the inspiration that spilt over not from our glasses, but from the vision and personality that fills NYC during Internet Week.

I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story…

Thank you Louis Gray for the invitation to the FriendFeed event tonight. Every so often, FriendFeed hosts its TGIFF (Thank Goodness It’s FriendFeed) where they invite FF enthusiasts to the company’s HQ to eat, drink and discuss everything from the state of FriendFeed and its next iterations to Silicon Valley and the future of the Web.

Tonight, I spent time with the FriendFeed team as well as with good friends Louis Gray, Steve Gillmor, Jeremiah Owyang, and Steve Rubel.

Perhaps the event was best immortalized with this picture of the FriendFeed team:

Dan Hsiao, Casey Muller, Ana Yang, Jim Norris, Tudor Bosman, Bret Taylor, Paul Buchheit (with Camilla), Sanjeev Singh, Kevin Fox
