Thomas speaks to the Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin
Produced in partnership by CMP Technology and O’Reilly the Web 2.0 Expo expands in Europe the model of the original Frisco’s conference. There are three main elements of the encounter: a conference on Peer-to-peer issues for e-lerning; an exhibition on the instruments trends and technologies related to Web 2.0; tu build a networking strategic events Internet to promote dialogue among entrepreneurs, venture capitalists to business development.
Yooplus at the conference submits its experience and its platform Enterprise 2.0: we +workspace. To date, more than 500 users are using we+ workspace platform . The 60% of them are medium-sized enterprises and 80% are European.
Tom spoke last night at the conference: “Yooplus is offering workflow and project management tools and services for small to medium sized business clients . We start in Italy and Europe to reach other markets such as North America and Asia. Our platform we+ workspace is for everyday professionals to manage their projects, collaborate and communicate with their teams, co-workers, customers, and vendors. It provides a single calendar-based view for you and your team to get things done!” ”
I just returned home from Web 2.0- Berlin, a four day conference and expo. I was really impressed by the turnout, over 500 participants and only 30% from within Germany. The content of the conference had a mixed review, a lot of the same stuff from the O’Riley Group’s friends and family. But when they turned the sessions over to European Speakers you found some really innovative ideas and successes hitting, for example, Stardoll.com and Zilo.com. I hope in the future we could act more 2.0 within the conference itself with more transparency, collaboration, and social networking. It would have been exciting to hear from other start-ups all over Europe, for example. As always it is very impressive to hear what the big boys are doing: Nokia, Amazon, Mozilla and Microsoft. But what about the average professional in the trenches wrestling with the volume of Web 2.0 information, tools and technologies. He is still searching for the real-value and benefits and thinking he will never eat another paper sack lunch again for as long as he lives….
