Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
It's eight weeks until the next conference, the second preliminary version of the programme is online and we're in the middle of planning the start-up track. We're willing to fill in the empty slots of the start-up track soon. A bunch of potential start-up applications reached us via the Call for Participation . It's still open, giving everyone a last chance to present in front of your target group of VCs, investors and decision makers of the web industry. As we've announced , the three winners of the Webciety Start-up Competition are going to be part of our start-up track.

emory conference on virtual worlds
As Ted Castronova has already announced , a fascinating conference is coming up at Emory University, called "Virtual Worlds and New Realities." There are going to be a number of panel discussions (the last of which will be broadcast live into Second Life and on Second Life Cable Network as part of the Metanomics weekly interview series.) To spark discussion on the panels, the conference organizers have asked me to distribute the following survey links. Even if you are not going to attend the conference, we would love to have your responses to the key questions, which address research questions, research methods, collaboration opportunities, and “commercial, social and political possibilities.” The link to the survey is here .
The “State of NOW” / #140conf events provide a platform for the worldwide twitter community to: listen, connect, share and engage with each other, while collectively exploring the effects of the emerging real-time internet on business. Please follow us on twitter and join our community on Facebook. The schedule for the events are unique and fast paced. It was Jeff Pulver’s intention to provide a platform for as many people as possible to share their thoughts and engage in conversation with the attending delegates. You will find individual talks set to: 10 minutes; “Featured talks” 15 minutes and the various panel discussions are set for 10 to 20 minutes.
140 Character Conference
We have an venue in place, talking to interesting partners and we are now looking carefully for the right program. Therefore we need more time to give a great experience and we will hold it in the Autumn. But more changes will happen with MetaMeets as you can see we are building up the website and added more possiblities to exchange. Feel free to make any comments or bring in any ideas in the forums. Also let us know if you have your own Seminar / Conference / Meetup / Presentation about virtual worlds or the 3D internet. So we can set this up on the website.
