I am living in the hangover of SIME 07. Thank you everyone who came together to make this the best event I have ever been to. A special thanks to Ola Ahlvarsson (for the agenda, the crowd, the moderating, the spirit), Christopher Granfelt (for making SIME possible), Mats Larsson (the best Event producer you can find), Radon (for producing some of the best looking TV on the web), Isabelle Hüttner (for being the coolest assistant), Martin Jämtlid (for the cool set design) and Felicio Da Costa (for everything on the SIME web and more).
Thank you everyone in the audience for contributing. And finally everyone who was on stage - you rock!
A detailed report of the ideas and experiences presented at SIME 07 will soon be posted.

Party time på SIME

SIME-konferensen avslutas alltid med en fantastisk prisutdelning, fest och vimmel. Google vann SIME Grand Prize. Festen hölls på Berns och fortsatte hela natten på Hell's Kitchen. Jag längtar redan till nästa år!

Min bordskavaljer: Dan Dubno från CBS News, USA. Hans bästa partytrick var att sätta eld på sin plånbok. Hans företag heter "Blowing things up"!

Jonas Weil, Beata & Niklas Fröberg. Drinken sponsrad av Match.com. Tack Johan!

Surrealistiskt: Filip & Fredrik visar Second Life på SIME Awards.

Everyone vs. Facebook


We’re seeing a Flixster application on MySpace now through the OpenSocial APIs. Flixster says it took them less than a day to create this.
Wow! do things change quickly in the Internet world. I remember that old saying from back in 90s about one Internet year being like four ordinary years. Just when we thought that Facebook was about to win the social community war, Google strikes back. And they are not alone in this struggle. Just about everyone is ganging up on Facebook.

MySpace, Six Apart and Bebo have now confirmed that they are joining Google’s OpenSocial initiative. Orkut, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Ning, Hi5, Plaxo, Friendster, Viadeo and Oracle have already announced that they are Google partners on this initative.

TechCrunch is pretty straightforward: "Google may have just come out of nowhere and checkmated Facebook in the social networking power struggle."
