After people share what was great about their group experiences, we explain that those same attributes are what make online communities great.   The magic is the experience with people, not the technology/venue, n Tue, 16 Dec 2008 11:51:58 -0800 http://blog.foghound.com/406/ 2008-12-16T19:51:58Z http://www.chrisbrogan.com/careful-is-that-contagious/ I first met author and podcaster Scott Sigler at the Web 2. 0 Expo in San Francisco.

Here's how you can tell that things have gotten serious: at O'Reilly Media's Web 2. 0 Summit this week, people actually showed up for breakfast. That's because they probably weren't out as late.

And rightly so, while the rest of us were trying to grapple with social anything, he coined the term social tools and understood the power of these tools and the conversation.

And solutions, particularly for technical issues, can be complicated. It's easy to say that a site shouldn't use tracking parameters in URLs, but it's a bit harder to really dig into the optimal solution that takes into account why the tracking parameters are used and what the system architecture that processes them is like.

Which is not only ‘too bad' but a real problem as pitching your startup (and yourself) is so unbelievable important to get money, make those biz dev deals and simply survive in the shark-infested waters of entrepreneurship.

He discussed his path from Argentina to Spain, his handling of the credit crisis a year before Sequoia's warning and his philosphy as an entrepreneur.

Directly from his Nokia N96, not much editing, straight to the point and to youtube he recorded an interesting series of ‘quacking' good videos that I'm happy to cross post here on my blog.

As you know, we've been including Drupal. org users in the redesign process from before the first wireframe was sketched, and we continue to include both ‘insiders' and ‘outsiders' in the process - currently in the form of usability testing the prototypes as it moves from iteration to iteration.

It seemed like a simple and reasonable idea. Anyone that considers him- or herself an energy blogger can go to The Energy Collective and register a blog.

During the course of their stay I had the pleasure to attend several events with them which offered me a better grasp of the vibrant local start-up scene.

You brought with you not only exciting new Web 2. 0 tools, technologies and know-how but your presence showed a positivity about the potential for Web in a global environment that is muddled by concern.

About Jennifer: She is a sharp lady, I like her thoughts. No wonder why she is GM & Co-Chair of the Web 2. 0 Expo (for TechWeb).

He held the presentation at Web 2. 0 Expo on friday. Jari talks about mobility and life, multi-model guidance, and future mobile technologies, all very interesting things. However, I find the point&touch vision most fascinating. I wonder if pointing at things with your mobile camera and getting search results in return is a reality for Nokia in the near future?  Mon, 27 Oct 2008 10:54:36 -0700 http://deceptivecadence.wordpress.com/2008/10/27/nokias-jari-pasanen-on-future-web-20-expo/ 2008-10-27T17:54:36Z http://www.paidcontentisback.com/2008/10/read-what-techcrunch-uk-says-about-snipclip/ Mike Butcher from TechCrunch UK published a report about the Pitch Camp which took place last Monday in Berlin and of course he also mentions SnipClip (what makes us quite happy btw): SnipClip is interesting. It takes content and turns it into a game which you can then monetise - quite a trend at the moment.

Sure, there are areas where the Expo could use some improvement, but forgive me if I don't focus on that part. I was like a little kid in a toy shop: a lot of interesting stuff was being told and I've met tons of wonderful people. I was attending a web-related conference! Abroad!

It all started with an invitation to the bloggers program, but it grew to become something all on its own. This post is a quick overview of all the people that got into the Ford S-Max to do a short interview on their startup or their view of the future. We started on Monday morning at Upstream in Arnhem. On the way there and in Arnhem we used our qik livestream. You can still find it at http://qik. com/mobilecowboys.
