Yes, LeWeb will have a startup competition again. This year LeWeb is looking for the three best startups for the Social/Local/Mobile (SoLoMo – yes, the theme) marketplace. Is that you? Well, it might be if you have got anything to do with any of these. And the best way to find out is to enter...
Jux, the future of blogging?
Jux has launched something new. An addition to blogging? An alternative for blogging? I am not sure. I think that for now, I will call it a great tool for sharing. Because for me, that is what blogging and social networks are all about. Sharing with friends and meeting new people through the content that...
How many apps do you want?
At LeWeb I met a number of startups. They ranged from not very interesting to very interesting. However the thing that really struck me when talking to them is that they are still so focussed on being the one platform for their users. Most ask you to import your friends, or ask you to at...
#LeWeb10: Dr Bertrand Piccard: Het gaat niet om het vliegtuig, maar om de beweging
Dr Bertrand Piccard begint om te zeggen dat hij zich eigenlijk onder gelijken voelt staan, omdat de mensen bij LeWeb weten wat het is om te pionieren.

Getting ready to go – are you coming?
I am really looking forward to this. Tomorrow I’ll be leaving to LeWeb with Erno Hannink. Four days of Paris, I won’t have time to see the Eiffel Tower and only glance at the Notre Dame in passing, and I am over the moon about it. I am really looking forward to the LeWeb conference...
LeWeb, bloggen en de wereld verbeteren

On the road with Max
If you read this blog, it will not have escaped your attention that I was in Berlin last week at the Web 2.0 Expo. It was a fantastic week, not in the least due to the sponsoring I got to do the pitchstops. Through doing those I met lots of new people and exchanged ideas...
Web 2.0 Expo Berlin – the pitchstops
Over the last week I have been pretty busy at the Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin. It all started with an invitation to the bloggers program, but it grew to become something all on its own. This post is a quick overview of all the people that got into the Ford S-Max to do a...
Behind the scenes at the Pitchstops with Marlooz
We had a great time at the Web 2.0 Expo filming our Pitchstops. And unexpectedly our good friend Marlooz turned up.
