Some Jelly With Your Open Coffee?

Right after OpenCoffee next Thursday, November 15, Startup Houston will be sponsoring Houston’s first Jelly event starting at 10:00 AM CST at Coffee Groundz. For those of you who are not familiar with Jelly meetings, they are basically a coworking event for folks who usually work from home to get out and interact with other coworkers in a social and collaborative environment.

A special thanks to Erica O’Grady, Houston’s foremost Social Media Strategist, for bringing this event together. BTW, if you haven’t met Erica yet, you need to. She is a very special person and another super advocate for the Startup Houston cause.

@ericaogrady thanks for everything!

WARNING: The following section contains extreme sarcarsm not suitable for all social mediarians.

Although coworking is very Web 2.0, the idea of open spaces for working collaboratively has been around for a long time. Long ago, people would gather in places called “malls” where commerce, entertainment and other social interactions normally reserved for MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Digg, IM or even e-mail would occur. Even today, you may find these antiquated sites still operating.

This touch of humor brought to you by your friends at Startup Houston.
