cruel to be kind

This is a short overview of events happening in Munich around the time DLD is in town. Besides of course the event itself there are some other possibilities to meet up with people. For example:

• Sunday 25th Jan: Klaus Eck’s Blogger meetup / tweetup (enter yourself in the comments)
• (only for registered attendees of DLD) Monday 26th: Jeff Pulver is planning a Breakfast with Jeff Pulver (tbc)
• Tuesday 27th: Girl Geek Dinner with guest Amazon evangelist Simone Brunozzi (web / twitter) Amazon Web Services Evangelist Europe
  

Did I miss anything? Please add! :)

What do you say when somebody asks you to test out mobile MID gadgets? You first say ‘yes please’, then ask how long you can keep then plus what exaclty MID are. I am going to find out over the next week. Meet the MidMoves project, sponsored by Intel:

The MID Moves project is an event designed to highlight how mobile Internet and Mobile Internet Devices bring you the power of the full Internet and the full Web in a way that enables you to go mobile while remaining productive, able to communicate, able to locate yourself and your contacts and even …

December is when Europe (and several batches of people from the US) travels to Paris to enjoy the food and the wine, because it is Leweb time. All of Europe? Nope. But the relevant part. ;)

As such it is a great pleasure for me to do again a pre conference podcast with some of the speakers. I will finish the uploads by sunday so you should have enough time to listen to all of them.

Caution Itunes user! Make sure to set the podcasts to “get all episodes” or you only will get one episode …

In case you wondered why I was so quit and not very responsive over the last weeks, here you have the reason:

My publisher is putting on the final touches and I am waiting for the last chapter to proofread – but Monday should be the start of the printing. It is called “Twitter – Mit 140 Zeichen zum Web 2.0” which roughly translate to “get up to speed with Web 2.0 in 140 characters”. Although the book is in German, over 40 million Germans online should be enough of a market. :) And who knows, maybe with the continuing success of …

The West Wing Well, is one of the very few shows I enjoy watching again and again, and as such, I am still a possible customer for new stuff around it. And of course I fall for the shows characters. As long as they are as witty as the show, I do not care who writes them, and neither should the producers behind it- they bring new joy for one my most loved tv shows which has ended. But I am still a possible customer for some all in one DVD sets …

The West Wing folks I found so far:

During Web 2.0 Expo Europe a Pitchcamp will be hosted on Oct 21st, the Workshop day. Bringing together VCs and relevant media people the attendees of the workshop can learn more from how that world works or not. Selected startups will receive one on one coaching during it, apply now if you are interested.

For me personally, one of the most exiting parts of the expo is how it brings together so many different areas and groups of people. And although Berlin really is a melting pot and a hot city to be in (met several people who told me they are …

(yes I admit I basically post this to make it easier to share content on the Tech in Europe Friendfeed room. Yes I know.)

[updated - added the link to the Girl Geek Dinner asking for a date you would prefer, added berlinwebweek and closed the link to the blogging programme entry. :) ]

As most of you hopefully know, the Web 2.0 Expo Europe is coming back to Berlin on October 21 til 23rd – but that is not all there is, because there is a whole lot events going so. So much in fact that I am not sure how I …

Happy to announce that the international Barcamp Berlin 3 now really happening. “Why, was that in question” you might ask? Jep, because it is not easy for an event this size to get a venue. Congrats to the guys securing it!

No time for guesses? ;) It is the main representative office of the Telekom, a building with a long history. Between 300-500 people from all over Europe will come together and judging by last years success, it will be bigger even this year.

i am sitting at blogher (today finally with twitter equipment), on a great panel i would like to share a lot of. but twitter decided to take a ’short’ outtime

“Twitter is currently down for maintenance.
We expect to be back in a couple hours. Thanks for your patience.”

currently nearly 1000 women are at blogher, many of them seem to be in love with twitter.

they are in media, marketing and more and now is one of the times when they would WANT to twitter. a lot. instead they will not.

my question? who schedules a downtime during such a conference?!

…

I will have a short visit to San Francisco from 14th til 22nd because I will be speaking at Blogher about “Blogging with a global perspective“. Not only am I am looking forward to event, but also about how many people I will have the chance to reconnect with.

See my planned events below – if you have anything more as suggestion, please feel free to ping me. Direct message on twitter hopefully will be delivered to my normal german mobile phone.

Additionally (please try that first) this number hopefully works again: +1 702 6356 027. Please note that my online access …
