Yes, let's get something like this started. Thanks for the nod - things like this were exactly what we had in mind while we were building Blastogo. The texting group web page can also be seen here: http://www.blastogo.com/CvilleNerd I would add one thing - the need to convince UVA students that Charlottesville is a great place to stay in after graduation. There are a ton of "nerds" and great startup talent already here, they just consider Charlottesville their "college town" and that staying here after graduating is somehow less prestigious than taking a job in a big city. When I was at UVA I made it to the Mall maybe two or three times. We need more internships or other ways to introduce students to the "other Charlottesville". I look forward to first meet up. Sweet!

It's not just technology, it's sales, marketing, editorial, etc etc. This is a small town and I hope we can facilitate more technology stuff. Let me know how I can help.
