Thursday and Friday last week I spent at reboot 8. Two days with tons of input -- mainly about the social aspects of the web.
Overall I think this years Reboot was an interesting event though not quite as inspiring for me personally as Reboot last year, But that may just be due to the fact that my expectations were raised to an unbelievable level.
That said I fully enjoyed key notes by Doc Searls and J.P. Rangaswami. The latter had this socialist-like approach to where the web is right now:
"Sales are dead. Secret information has gone public. We don't have to pay for anything any more. Copyright and censorship should be killed!"
Also Hugh Mcleod and Rick Segal offered an interesting talk on Micro Brands and the tools for promoting them.
Finally I want to point to Maya Lotans demo of Urban Seeder an Israeli alternative to ordinary dating sites. The whole idea is just thoroughly interesting. I like the notion that meeting dates online should emulate flirting in the real world.
And then there was the socializing. I spent the two days talking a lot of shop with my colleague Maja and also met Line who's blog I read on a regular basis.
Good fun. Thanks reboot :-)
