CenterNetworks is a media sponsor of the POPSignal party in Boston on May 15th. The party will be held at Tequila Rain which is next door to Fenway Park where those "redsox" play. The party is already sold out at over 400 guests but we have 30 exclusive CenterNetworks invites!
POPSignal co-founder Jay Meattle explained how the event got started, "Brian and I are really doing this to bring the tech community together in an informal environment. The more people from the tech and startup community we get to come to this event, the better for Boston’s tech community as a whole."
There are some great sponsors making the event possible including: Microsoft, TripAdvisor (one of my favorite sites!), PerkettPR T3 Advisors and AtlasVenture.
Check out all of the details for the event and register here using the following code: pop1cn. Be quick — we only have 30!

Business social network Xing is announcing the addition of a Google Maps mashup inside of their service. Assuming your contacts have listed addresses and have the correct privacy settings, you can see on a world map where the concentrations of your contacts are. Kristen Nicole suggests, "I imagine meeting planning and travel options could be one direction in which to head, as well as other location-based resources for obtaining news/updates/etc. about individual users within your contact list can also be helpful."
To be honest, why do I care about my contacts on a map? Wouldn’t a simple list of cities be easier? I agree with Kristen but would take it a step further. If Xing wants to make an absolutely kickass map, they need to add in tons of business coverage. When you select a location, tons of local resources should be shown (tie into Yelp, and YellowPages.com). Even more importantly, a list of other Xing members who aren’t on my contact list but are in the selected location that might be good matches based on my characteristics. That’d be hot.
Tim calls Xing one of the top German Web apps.
