Web 2.0 Expo: The Germans are coming

“You are not alone”, goes a song which reminds me of yesterday’s 1st conference day. Pretty intense and very worthwhile the two sessions I attended on Building Social Networks and Fundamentals of Web 2.0. It is a good feeling to know that one is into these concepts, but at the same time to get humble in the light of the experts who are on the forefront of the movement.

Pouring myself some coffee during a break, Oliver Beste, President of EO Germany walked up to me and we fell enthuiastically into each other arms after two weeks when we hae met last time in Tokyo ;-) And a few minutes later Lars Hinrichs showed up, too. So all the Germans in da house!

San Francisco 30

Funny story by the side: Lars asked me to join him for a XING-networking event “Monday Meeting” which XING-members had set up, got to know that Lars was in town and asked him to come by. “It’s just two blocks away”, Lars said. So us two marched across downtown, found the place pretty well, climed up third floor, entered the office of the alleged venue, we received amazed stares from the people who told us that the “Monday Meeting” would take place on Monday and today was Sunday. What do we learn from that incident about Lars? Taking a company public is easy, the comprehension of weekdays comes with a few complexities ;-)
