Apparently “consumers get it” and are increasingly becoming early adpoters of technology. You’re going to find a veritable gaggle of these people (what’s the collective term for a large gathering of Geeks?) at the current Consumer Electronics Show. Now I know you’re wishing you could be there but there is some online content to drool over the next gadget you’re going to get! Funny how this Adoption Curve increase doesn’t seem to translate in to Small Businesses or does it?

A couple of collective noun suggestions that I found online…
Gaggle is quite popular. Others include:
A rumple of Geeks
A social awkwardness of geeks (that’s a stretch)
A Google of Geeks
There are lots more here:

And my favourite…
A “It’s too ****ing early” of Geeks
Wikipedia has a whole dictionary of collective nouns at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collective_nouns_by_subject
but disappointingly doesn;t seem to have anything listed for geeks.

I knew there had to be some terms for it and lo and behold! I have to agree with your choice of favourite. That must make me a geek as I never do meetings before 10.00am!
