The Next Web 2008 - Redux
Last year, I planned on doing a live-blogging session during the 2007 edition of the The Next Web conference, but due to WiFi outages was unable to get online all that much.
This year, I was prepared, thanks to TreasureMyText and you can (re-)read my thoughts on Day 1 here and Day 2 is available here.
I also did a couple of interviews during the conference and will post them soonish, so stay tuned.

Just a quick update: I am live-blogging Day 1 via my TreasureMyText text-stream, go check it out!
From the frontlines
Just about everyone and their sister have been using one micro blogging tool or another and even though I have accounts at Twitter, Jaiku and Pownce, I mostly find myself just reading other people’s tweets and pownces, rather than creating my own. The primary reason for that? Cost.
Twitter has local numbers for the US, UK, Canada and India, Jaiku has one for Sweden and Pownce does not have any number at all and while I could still use a UMTS connection to post updates, I find myself enjoying the service that TreasureMyText offers more and more every day.
TreasureMyText was first launched in August of 2005 by Katie Lips and Paul Stringer and has seen a continuous stream of improvements ever since, up to a point where the interface is as easy to use as it gets.
Ease of use is all I want(ed) for my micro blogging endeavour and as such, I figured that I should give TreasureMyText a go, so from now on, you will see (ir)regular updates at the top of the sidebar.
