Tuttle at Ten — SteemCN

"Will it stay like this or get too businessy?"

It stayed like that, mostly. Sometimes it did get too businessy, but we soon dealt with that.

It's ten years this week since we had the first regular Tuttle Club meeting "to prototype a social media café for London" upstairs in the Coach & Horses in Greek Street. This picture was taken a couple of weeks later once we'd decided that it could and should be a weekly thing. It's been going (pretty much) every Friday since. Yes once or twice, it's been me, a cup of coffee and a couple of pigeons and yes, there have been weeks when I haven't shown up, but over all, it's ten years of putting another bead on the string and I'm proud of it.

I feel the need to something to mark the anniversary, other than having a bunch of grumpy old social media folk drinking tea, eating cake and moaning about how it isn't like it used to be in the good old days of 2008.

About a year ago, I started writing stuff about it. By now I thought it would be a book, but it isn't, most of that writing still isn't published, and there's still a lot to write. And I'm not certain that a book is the form it should take. Maybe I had to wait for the ten years to be up to really get down to it.

I'd like to do a couple of things to celebrate. One is to open some space to get people talking together about what we did and get them to record what was important for them. The other is for me to go round the country (and beyond!) interviewing people who came and getting some stories together about why it has mattered, why it continues to matter. I think this is more of a movie. Not just talking heads - and it should include bits of other media, but mostly it'll be that.

I need to start making some new lists!

PS Don't worry I haven't forgotten about SteemCampUK!

Hey I didn’t know you are a published writer!!

By now I thought it would be a book, but it isn't, most of that writing still isn't published, and there's still a lot to write.

Does this mean you have already published some of your works?

That's definitely worth celebrating. I'm sure a lot of things have come out of it

This is a life picture that can always be remembered, an event that ever happened will be difficult to forget. Motivation is the beginning of everything.
You have a long story to tell. The best memory is the memory in which we exist and reappear, I am very impressed with your story

best regards @lloyddavid

Second one is more fun, at least in my perspective. I would really want to see it, one of my big interest in life are whys :) And many more years to go

a good idea. if we make plans based on concepts. then forever will succeed. good work

Let me know how I can help; I've met some great people at the Tuttles I've been to and some way of capturing it would be great I think.

Ha. I almost missed it... will try and get in on Friday and be there at this milestone. I never sure if I was there for the first one or not, and I don't know how to find out now!
