John and I will be attending an exciting event this weekend, Startup Weekend! What is Startup Weekend, you ask?

Startup Weekend recruits a highly motivated group of developers, business managers, startup enthusiasts, marketing gurus, graphic artists and more to a 54 hour event that builds communities, companies and projects.

It’s a community building endeavor in which all sorts of web and business folk come together to use their talents, work together, and make something cool.

They happen all around the country. In the past there has been one in New York, Atlanta, Boulder, Portland, Houston, Austin, London, and Los Angeles, to name a few. This weekend it will be in Ann Arbor!

John, myself, and the other attendees use our precious weekend hours to bust our tails and come up with fresh new ideas for the web and bring them to reality. It’ll also be a great opportunity to meet other like-minded web folks from around the area.

From a Tridea perspective, it will give us a chance to scout people we might partner up with down the road as well as size up competitors…although, the web is such a big place we rarely think about “competition” with other companies.

Should be a lot of fun, check back here for a recap when it’s over!
