SIME Finland: A Short Review And Photos
SIME Finland that was held yesterday was really well organized and the atmosphere was great. However, the actual content of the presentations could have been better. I’ve had the chance to hear most of the Finnish speakers already, but the non-Finns were interesting.
I’m not quite sure if anyone got anything concrete out of Scandinavia’s top internet conference’s endeavour into Finland as the presentations were quite general. But if they’re organizing it again next year, I’ll definitely be there. As I will be in Stockholm in November, too.
A recap of the presentations can be found at the SIME Blog.
P.S I was supposed to do some semi-live-blogging from the conference, but the curse of all conferences, crappy wifi ruined my plans.

The Next Web – Day 2 Wrap-up
The Day 2 of The Next Web was in some ways even better than yesterday. )And I was better prepared to take notes.)
Tech geek blogger-star Robert Scoble started the day by talking about the new digital divide : The friend divide. This means that the user experiences of a user of social services with 2 friends is a lot different to that of a user with 200 friends. That means that online services should do more to get the people who’ve just joined any new service involved and aware of the possibilities of the service. Otherwise they will in many cases get disappointed.

The Next Web Conference - Last 12 Startups
The startup presentations on day two were slightly less appealing (except for one company) than those of yesterday.
The Next Web – Day 1 Wrap-up
This seems to have been the overall opinion so far.
A very concise wrap-up of all the presentations.

The Next Web Conference - First 12 Startups
During The Next Web conference 24 startups will have 5minutes each to present their offering to the audience. Here’s my brief notes on each.
The Next Web Conference - Expectations
I’m writing this on the way to The Next Web Conference in Amsterdam. I’m really looking forward to two days of networking and hearing what the top people in the web industry have to say where the web is heading in the future.
Besides me there are only a handful of people from Finland attending, which is a shame as these kinds of conferences are a great way for being on the edge and making contacts that will be very beneficial in the future. Finnish startups that are present (at least to my knowledge) at the Next Web Conference are Floobs, TripSay, Scred and Innosonic.
The things that I’m most looking forward are the 5 minute presentations from 24 startups. It will be very interesting how they will sell their offering to the audience.
From the keynote presentations I’m especially expecting to hear Khris Loux, CEO and co-founder of JS-Kit, his topis is “Web 3.0 or Web 3D?, The Decentralization, Disaggregation and Democratization of the Web” and /Data portability and Chris Saad, Co-Founder and Chairperson at DataPortability.org.
Of course, I bet that Diggation live will a lot of fun. All in all I’m very excited, but apparently I’m not the only one…
