The Next Web Awards are the Awards for future accomplishments. Today we decided that it is rather cool to give away some future (not yet on the market) products. So now you can win an iPhone by casting your vote for The Next Web Awards.
What are you waiting for? Vote and win!
This is funny, smart and remarkable.
This guy is working for a non-for profit organization and doesn’t have enough money to attend The Next Web Conference, but he sure wants to go to it! So he made this website, check it out :)
If we’re not in a meeting, in the car or doing fun stuff, I’m working all of the time and I just cannot find time to post some blogs. But this short story I like to blog.
We had a great day today. First we woke up Michael Arrington with a grande latte, then we worked at Plaxo and afterwards we had dinner and a great conversation with Kevin Kelly.
I got an email of a The Next Web attendee of last year which was rather special and great! I’ll quote it here:
Patrick,
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend this year. I’m attending a family wedding, and my wife would kill me if I told her that Web 2.0 was more important than a wedding (even though it’s obviously true!)
After I told him I was impressed with his devotion to The Next Web Conference and web2.0 in general and that I just loved the sentence, he replied:
I even suggested that we could hold the wedding in Amsterday … but I was told that I would have to pay for the plane tickets and hotel expenses of all 100 guests. Even though I’m very devoted to Web 2.0, that was a little too expensive for me!
I knew we’re organizing a great conference, but to hear these things from a last year attendee is almost unbelievable :)
We’re in San Francisco and having a great time. Sometimes we say to each other: Life is hard :)
We arrived in San Francisco, rented a car and drove to the hotel with our dear friend TomTom. Now all fresh and clean, dressed up in white suits we heading to Yahoo Brickhouse (the Yahoo incubator) were we are going to work for the day.
Interesting is that today the news came out that Microsoft wants to take over Yahoo for 50 billion dollars. The Yahoo stock raised 17% to a market cap of 44.5 billion.
More on this from inside the Yahoo building later on today.
For everything there is a first time, this is my first time to arrive on Schiphol, to check the information board and to see “KLM Flight 605 to San Francisco: Cancelled”!
So that is a good start of the trip. We have been rescheduled to leave two hours later on a flight which will take 8 hours longer! Hey, we will see Minneapolis as well, so that is the good news :-)
Now working on Schiphol and using the KPN Hotspots network. I was wondering: What would you do if Internet doesn’t exist!
