IPAN Twitter event

Tomorrow we are discussing Twitter at IPAN. If you are interested in Twitter do come over to listen at a few influential Twitter users talk about what it is and how it makes the world a better place.

Is Twitter just the latest craze or a revolutionary new way of communicating and social interaction?

Guido van Nispen will be our moderator and I will be in a panel together with several leading Twitteratzi including Erwin Blom.

There will also be live demos of TwitterMail.com and Mobypicture.com AND Babl.nl.

Date: February 5, 2008
Location: Flex Bar Amsterdam
Time: 20:00

If you are not a member of IPAN you will have to pay something at the door to get it. If you display your Twitter name visibly on your chest you can get in for free.

Shoeshine Event: Story and Photos

This morning I got up early to go to the offices of New Tailor to be in time for our shoeshine event. I shined a lot of shoes and talked to a lot of people. Next month I think we will start a little later and work a little longer to give more people an opportunity to get their shoes shined. Some people have to travel a bit and like to come later.

The networking aspect of the event really did work. It is very nice, and personal, to shine someone’s shoes. It is easy to talk during the process and it takes about 5 minutes which is perfect to ask a few questions and get to know people. I even heard one pitch (and saw a few screenshots) during one session.

There is a nice photo set on Flickr made by Frank Schuil from IRL. He made a few photos of me and Roel Wolbrink, the CEO of New Tailor when I was still practicing:
