Fantastic idea! As facilitator in such an experiemental presentation format, your head must be buzzing with all the concurrent threads. 10x more exhausting than "normal" pres? - Mathieu Ayel
just catching up with the Friendfeed comments and likes on this idea! Glad you liked it it was very experimental and looks like it went ok. - Loic Le Meur
SHADE... or my connection or my asus eeepc 700 ar not enough powered to be able to watch smoothly... - jfayel
James, just roll-over the video and click on the thread at the bottom, or navigate as you started playing left or right using the left/right buttons, lots of videos to see - Loic Le Meur
The question is a result of a discussion about who would be valuable for a keynote on a european conference. Should it be some american name because most people do not go over the pond? Should it be somebody inspiring, because this is what you want out of a keynote? Should it be a big brand name behind it? - Nicole Simon
If it is a startup conference, find a local European entrepreneur who made it big. Give someone they can relate to for inspiration. Maybe the Skype guys, or last.fm or something. - Andrew Leyden
The first speaker should be entertaining and credible and authoritative and set the theme for the conference. Good luck! That's a hard one to find. - Robert Scoble
Wachovia social media evangelist and Sr Veep @petefields - Daniel J. Pritchett
God, i'm realy going to have to ponder this one...i'll get back to you I promise. Just so you know, i'm not going to be available for any public speaking events this year, so i'll rule myself out of the picture now :D - Zee from WeDoCreative
I would prefer to see a fresh european face - somebody who understands the EU context but has also strong ties across the pond. Go ahead, ask Jyri. - Martin Koser
For tech, try James Dyson. He's a great speaker and is particularly good at explaining the development to retail process. - Cains
hmm..it really depends on kind of conference and its objectives. I agree with Robert to put someone entertaining and credible. I once was part of a leadership seminar and one of VPs Marketing of Swisscom gave a lecture at the end of which he recommended 2 books - Scott Adams "Dilbert Principle" and Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. I will go along same lines. Take someone unrelated to the subject but inspiring enough - music, art or science authority. It will give a diff, fresh and entertaining prospective! - Hayk
I'd love to see Howard Rheingold because he's a true (old school) pioneer of the online community scene and evangelist of the smart mobs movement! - Tom Noeding
Kind of related--if I wanted to follow the top 5 European tech bloggers, who would they be? I'm trying to get more 'intel' on the European tech community and am looking for some sources. - Andrew Leyden
Steve jobs is the only keynote speaker I actually make a point of watching. He has incredible presence, utter conviction in his work, and is a giant in the industry. I'd vote for Steveo - john conroy
yes, probably Steve Jobs. Hm... Who else... Maybe Niklas Zennström? - Timo Heuer
I have to agree with John's comments about Steve Jobs. He really is a showman and SV icon. - Roberto Bonini
“Clay Shirky "here comes everybody"” - Gerd Leonhard
I would unite the surviving people from Psion to give a great speech about their experiences and how much is still to be improved upon when it comes to tech companies in europe. Psion had the potential to be europes version of sony, but it all went bad. I'd also get the guys from Acorn to hold a speech in a similar vein.. definately a theme on how a company can stand on the cusp of greatness but never meet that potential. - alphaxion
I'm just fed up of seeing the cool and random tech companies being Japanese or American... Europe has so much potential - UK is unique in the gaming industry since every country tends to be specialised in a certain niche when it comes to excellence, the UK talent pool is the only one that has all aspects covered. Yet it is left to fend for itself and gets almost zero help (which is why canada over took the UK as the 3rd producer of games)... ask yourself the quesion, where is the european chumby? or drobo? - alphaxion
alphaxion - I'm working on it but it's not going well :(. Totally agree with your paragraph above - Toby Graham
well, by "european chumby" and "european drobo" I meant the european developed and launched rather than simply imported. Effectively I'm probing why we seem to lack the eco-system to support innovation. - alphaxion
I want Justin Hall .. he will do a lifestream at BC Munich btw. or at least we are working on it - Nils Hitze

Does it matter anymore? Traffic on Laconi sites is dropping fast, shall I say like a NASA shuttle after being impacted by a Bic pen? http://is.gd/2xgh - Roger Kondrat
What twhirl needs to do is support posting videro to seesmic. When that happens, watch out! - Soulhuntre

Soulhuntre it's coming! Stay tuned :) - Loic Le Meur

Yep, around 35qm, one big room - one smaller room (big enough for a bed) - balcony - separate kitchen (with window) + a bathroom :-) ... + relatively near the center of Munich - 5min to the next underground station, 5min to the English Garden - almost in the Students district :-) - please don't ask for the price ;-) - Michael Klier
Congrats =) Does this mean you'll be resuming normal FF activity? - embee
someone's gotta ask: What's the price? - Jürgen Geuter
YAY ! Good to have you back! @tante: the price will probably over shadow the excitement.. Let him enjoy fully first :P - embee
we had this discussion before and I hear you screaming already ... so, well then: 635€ (without electricity, phone/DSL and stuff) - Munich is, well, really expensive ... (on the other hand, compared to other flats in the same district, it's relatively moderate) - Michael Klier
also, given that I have twice as much room + my own bathroom + balcony + kitchen for only 200€ more than I pay atm I think it's worth it (don't forget the absence of annoying flat mates) - Michael Klier
Sounds great IMHO (Munich is expensive...), but don't forget: Pictures, or it didn't happen (yes, I will be patient until you actually moved -- when btw?) - Gina Häußge
Second image is all wrong, not the joke but that you ALWAYS have to use the furthest possible urinal from your fellow man! It's the unwritten rule. - Toby Graham
Guys usually try to put a buffer stall between them and the other guy to keep that from happening. - Adrian
