Mobile 2.0 Europe is over..

Last week I was at Rudy’s great event Mobile 2.0 Europe. Some things that stuck:

1. GREAT CROWD

I have been at many mobile conferences but the crowd at this event was really top notch. All conversations were inspirational.

2. THE OPERATOR PANEL

I had the honour of moderating the operator panel discussion at Mobile 2.0. As it looks now it probably was the session of the day that people will not forget… It was a very heated discussion (that is an understatement). I must admit I was not prepared for this. In the end it all worked out though.

3. INDONESIA

ALL start-ups told me that they are doing great in Asia and especially in INDONESIA.. Really mobile internet is currently BOOMING in Indonesia. Seems that they created the right conditions for surging mobile internet usage. Thinking of doing a seperate post on Indonesia.

4. DINER AND PARTY

The Blyk sponsored diner and Techcrunch party at Shoku was great! I met people from: Rummble, Fjord, Getjar, Blyk, Itsmy, Kooaba, Plugg, Nimbuzz, Ebuddy, Palringo, Some Bazaar, Van den Ende & Deitmers and some others.. (damn wodka)

5. AMAZING STARTUPS

Really impressed by some startups. Three startups that I will keep tracking:

Zipipop (I have new cool word: Intention Broadcasting)

Kooaba (Visual Search) and

Rummble ( Tough market but might be one of the winners)

6. 40 MILLION DOWNLOADS A MONTH ON GETJAR

Enough said… WOW

Here are some interesting blogposts about the event.
