Alles Gut ?

LIFT08 is already over for more than a week. But as I spent most of that week coughing and sneezing, I couldn't write about it earlier. It was once again well worth the trip - lots of interesting people & conversations, lots of interesting subjects... far beyond Web 2.0 & Co... Luckily most of the presentations plus many interviews from various participants are available online on a website from a local TV station: Nouvo.ch.

Here the usual list of my personal favorites:

• Kevin Marks from Google on Open Social as a common framework for building social applications.
• Holm Friebe + Philipp Albers on new forms of cooperation and collaborative work.
• Noel Hidalgo on the Luck of Seven - his open source, seven month journey around the world documenting free culture, social innovators & global change.
• ...and last but not least Kevin Warwick - the "crazy" scientist on becoming a cyborg !?

All in all a great experience! Many thanks to Laurent & the whole LIFT team for three inspiring days!! Looking forward to LIFT09...
