#swct Gets off to a Great Start

Saturday morning, a couple dozen social media enthusiasts gather at John Davenport's Restaurant at the top of the Omni Hotel in downtown New Haven to kick of Social Web Week Connecticut 2010. A video message from Mayor John DeStefano was shown amidst many messages being sent out via Twitter, Foursquare, ustream, qik, Facebook and other forms of social media.

The theme for Saturday was Destination CT, with the Omni as the first destination. The theme for Sunday is Family and Friends with many more great destinations, but it turned out that Saturday was also a family day as families gathered at the kickoff. Children of various organizers handled the cameras and cellphones to send out various pictures and video streams.
