Unconventional Everything (Mikamai)

A photographer took some pictures of MIKAMAI office and staff on a snowy December morning.

UPDATE: interviews by Vodafone Lab here.

It’s exactly what it sounds like: tech people talking about their start-up experiences, sharing business ideas, creating connections. The second Startup Night at The Hub Milan was great.

Some interesting projects here.

Here’s a review on TECHCRUNCH!

On Wednesday (July 15th, 2009) there’s going to be the second Giant Global Graph meeting. It follows the “GGG breakfast” (pic below), but this time it’s going to be a “GGG Aperitivo” :)

We are going to talk again about the social graph and how we can scrape it, put it to good use, monetize the social capital, create a trust-based economy.

Please bring your laptop, your code, and your own slice of graph: we share a passion for scraping it! :) You can share code, data, slides about your GGG-related project.

What we talked about last time: virtual currencies, Wikipedia as a social network, how to scrape and smush the graphs, subjective search engines, QQ Coins vs Renminbi, The Singularity (the rapture of nerds ?), abundance vs scarcity, trust networks, recommender systems, post-Google scenarios, subjective vs objective logic, Bruce Sterling, Gregg Egan, post-central banks world, and other stuff…

Sounds interesting ? You can sign up here. And yes, we’ll have an aperitivo at the pub after the meeting :)

Some friends focused on the projects, the others contributed in many different ways.

Gioia Feliziani, Alice Avallone, Chiara De Caro were priceless contributors in communicating the event, organizing the whole meeting and sharing ideas!

All of this would not have happened without Edoardo Piccolotto.
