Things start to happen

Today felt for me a bit like the reboot spirit is already slipping through my fingers, but then a mail popped out of my mailbox from Max Niederhofer about the "European Internet Project", founded after reboot7:
At reboot, we realized that most Europeans don't connect as much as they should and are always looking across the Atlantic for new trends, visions, leaders, innovative companies and so on (hey, three of four keynoters were Americans... on second thought, Cory is a bit of an honourary European by now).

In any case, we feel that Europe has a lot to offer and that it's holding itself back by not being integrated enough. The EIP wants to connect Europeans working and playing on and with the internet by providing information on who is doing what in Europe, providing a basis for young European internet startups to launch from and eventually organizing some big conference bash.

While we're focused on Europe as a region, we're open for Americans interested in Europe as well. It's about pro-Europe, not anti-America.
Absolutly agreed. Go read the manifesto, and subscribe to the Feed! Over the weekend I will get some more information from Max for postboot.

About

female. european. geek.

About Nicole Simon I love working with people and help them get successful, especially through the use of social software. Though I have been on the net for over a decade and have consulted SMB for years, I also understand the corporate side, as I have worked in a major corporation for 15 years.

If you need a name for what I do, I usually call myself a European New Media Specialist with a special interest in (micro) blogging, podcasting and second life. I also love to 'testdrive' products / concepts which is best described as Technology Implementation Analyst. Recently I have finished the German Twitter book and will specialize a bit in 2009 on this topic as well as building more bridges between communities.

You can read more about me on my Xing profile or contact me for more information.

When I do interviews (mainly pre conference podcasts I put them up here: Bloxpert so I can seperate blog / podcast talk a bit more from the stuff here.

Useful Sounds is my personal podcast, and I also have a German blog. Living in Lübeck, Germany, a European point of view comes with everything.



Why ctbk? Smooth-tongued responses are for the timid ones, and if there are no challenges, there is nothing to gain either. :)
