fivenin.es: the birth of a social network in Barcelona?

4 Comments Blogosphere The real world Web 2.0

Kiwoo.org sent me a link to a simple and misterious website named fivenin.es, a domain registered just 4 days ago.

In the page there is: a simple Helvetica Rounded logo, a philosophical quote about imperfection, a link to a social event in Barcelona and an email for confirmations.

Fivein

Apparently this is about a gathering to discuss about Web 2.0 in Barcelona where there will be demos, talks, Ruby on Rails and new website announcements.

If you are a geek, marketer, blogger, artist, investor, entrepreneur or all the above, then come meet other people just like you. anyone who is serious about web 2.0 in barcelona should try to attend or send someone. respond early by email if you are confirmed, there is room for up to about 40 people at the current location.

The meeting will include demos of breaking new web sites using ruby on rails and ideas for you on developing commercial social web 2.0 apps. voice your opinion on what the next generation of social networks should be doing.

My guess is that these fivenin guys are trying to build some kind of social network and they want to get some first hand input from the Web 2.0 community in Barcelona.

Digging a little bit deeper the only facts we have are:

  • The title tag of the fivein.es website: fivenin.es spanish english worldwide network. are you fivenin.es?
  • The content meta tag in the header: spanish, english, social network, photography, espana, barcelona, madrid, buenos aires, mexico, mexico city, latino, latin america, social networking
  • From the event description: voice your opinion on what the next generation of social networks should be doing.

I’ll attend the gathering today at 22h and post how the gathering was (if I don’t blog for a while start worrying).

    We were there yesterday night (not you) and it’ s just that you think.
    “… about a gathering to discuss about Web 2.0 … demos, talks, Ruby on Rails and new website announcements.”
    Also they show us (aprox. 20 people were in the event) a Firefox plugin than they have made in few days.

    Diluvi,
    thanks for the info. Do you have any links? Fivenin.es still shows the same contents as yesterday.
    Salut!

    I learned (?) about fivenin.es getting a new meetup.com member notification: http://socialsoftware.meetup.com/cities/es/barcelona/

    At that moment, nothing but a blank page was at http://5nin.es/

    I’m glad that the mistery (for me) is solved and will be checking it for sure. Tx!
