republica 2010, Jeff Jarvis, Best of the Blogs

I already got my ticket for republica 2010 a little while back, a little after the early bird tickets had gone out of sale. Republica advance ticket sales have been at a record high this year. That’s really good news as all republicas so far were great, and I enjoyed them a lot. For independent [...]


re:publica – Day 3 Resume

It’s day 3 of re:publica, and so it’s time to draw a first resume. To get it out of the way: Yes, wifi hasn’t been working well all through the conference. And no, I don’t find it as bad as you might expect. (Or as I expected myself, really.) I didn’t even bring my laptop [...]


re:publica 09 (Day 1, Photos)

Day 1 of re:publica is over. I spent most of it inside the bus-turned-video studio of Blogpiloten taping interviews with the web folks and had a blast doing so. Also, I decided not to take a laptop at all and just took my trusted camera instead, and here’s some results of day 1. Enjoy!

You can [...]


re:publica 09: Let’s meet up!

Starting tomorrow, it’s going to be three days of re:publica craze. For those abroad: re:publica is arguably Germany’s biggest and most important blogger conference, organized by the great folks over at Newthinking and Spreeblick. This is, I believe, my third time at re:publica, and last time I had a blast. This year, I’m told, is [...]


Meet up at OpenEverything, LeWeb, Re-Publica

It’s been quite hectic lately with both work and travel (and work-related travel, obviously), and there’s more to come. Needless to say, I really enjoy meeting all the interesting folks at events and conferences. I think it’s the best way to learn about new projects and ideas.
So thanks to unlike and Henrik Berggren for [...]

Re:publica 08 #4 (Wrap-up)

So re:publica 08 is over, it’s the week after and things are back to normal. I’m only posting this just now since my weekend pretty much went into moving to a new apartment, but now that I’ve settled in, I’m back on a more regular schedule after after a trip to New York and San [...]


Re:publica 08 #3 (Law)

One of the best panels My favorite panel at re:publica was Henning Krieg’s panel on law and blogging. At pretty much every other conference I missed out on Henning’s quite famous talks, and it was no surprise to find the room packed to the limits. Relaxed, informal and funny presentation, a lot of value for [...]


Re:publica 08 #1

So far, I haven’t been able to blog about re:publica 08, Germany’s top blogger & social media conference. Not because it hasn’t been interesting – quite the contrary – but because I ended up chatting with a lot of cool folks. Which is, let’s face it, the main point about this kind of congregations. The [...]


re:publica 08: Program online, ticket sales are on

As Markus pointed out, the (drafted) program for re:publica 08 is online and tickets are for sale as of now. This year the conference is subtitled “critical mass”, referring to the exponential growth of successful web services.
If you’re not familiar with re:publica, it’s a Web 2.0 conference in Berlin. Last year the conference was a [...]
