This weekend there was an interesting conference, around the web and mobile applications, held in Stockholm. I missed the registration to the event, so I thought I had missed it entirely. But when I surfed around on Hubbub’s homepage I found the back channels on Jaiku and Onelinr, so the first hour I tried to follow the conference from them. But it didn’t workout that good since I missed sound and video from the people that talked on stage. I then discovered that I had a colleague from Testfreaks sitting in the audience, and he phoned me up on Skype. This way I could listen to the entire conference through his built-in microphone. This was an interesting and new (for me) way to attend a conference. I even got the chance, through the back channels at Jaiku, to ask Hjalmar Winbladh from Rebtel a question I had about the Android.
Next time I hope the people behind Hubbub set up a proper Skypeconference that many people can login to and listen. Since the entire event is held in English there must be a big potential audience for this kind of events.
I haven’t written any in a long time, mainly because I haven’t had time. It’s so much to do at Testfreaks at the moment, we are really showing good progress.
Last week I went to Daytona Session vol 1, in Stockholm. Daytona Session was is an Internet Conference that discussed the online future and what will come the next five years.
One of the speakers, Johan Ronnestam at Foreign, had a really interesting speak about this, where he listed 10 things to come the next 5 years.
He gave a good brief in what he thought was the really good things that would come over the next years. He spoke about some new business marketing roles that we might see over the next years. Where SEO manager where the top one. But he also mentioned some other new interesting roles as feed content managers, social customer manager(handle all customer support online on every community that excist), where the companies need to be more focused on what information they are spreading and how they deliver these.
It will be really interesting to see if there will be more of this, hopefully a volym 2 with more internet focus. It was a little bit to much about journalism mumbo jumbo.
If you understand swedish, you can take a look at Johan Ronnestams presentations here.
