Google New York mingles at Obliterati

On one recent Thursday, we headed down to Sweet and Vicious in SoHo for Obliterati, a monthly event held in NYC. Targeted toward old and new media, public relations, and the web 2.0 crowd, Obliterati is focused on enabling networking and new connections between social circles in various media scenes.

 

We were pleased to teach many new people about Google Places at the activity itself, and we also gave away a sweet prize package as a lead-up to the activity (including a Samsung Galaxy Tab and a dinnertime tasting menu for two, with drink pairing, at Corton)!

Obliterati’s regulars gave Google Places a warm welcome. We all practiced our best Statue of Liberty pose:

And even the DJs got in the Google Places spirit:

New Yorkers were pleased to discover just how good they looked in a Statue of Liberty Crown...

And one of our users’ furry friends even stopped by for a visit:

We want to thank everyone who came out and made the Google Places edition of Obliterati so much fun. If you missed us at Sweet and Vicious, don’t worry: There’s plenty more fun where that came from! Just be sure to sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Twitter and Facebook to stay up to date.
