Thanks for the Startup Night

by Lorenzo Grandi on November 25th, 2009

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.

July 15th: GGG Aperitivo

by Sebastiano Scròfina on July 11th, 2009

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.

ggg_aperitivo

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 :)
