First thoughts, they’ve re-named the Business Stage the Entrepreneur Stage, so if it was about the organisation of money before, it’s about the dream of money now.
Overheard a couple of bearded knapsackers talking about how much they wanted to meet Om Malik and a suited thug talking about how much he wanted to meet Leah Culver ‘on account of her photo’.

In a world of mashup perhaps there is a business opportunity in mixing the two together, Orcs delivering sermons on widgets?
Which leads me into October 3rd being the day Widgets Went Wild, at least in the UK. I saw on the tube an advert for the UPS Widget, he’s kinda beige and a bit like one of those kid’s troll dolls and he always carries a magnifying glass. Genius, turn a portable internet application into a funny little genderless toon.

I did a little research into ‘appvertising’ and discovered this crazy guy talking about ‘killer appvertising’ way back in January 2006, when You Tube was but a suckling infant at the breast of Mother Web.
He does use the phrase ‘advertisers need to make it as easy as urination’ which if I hadn’t just credited, I would have happily deployed at some conference I’m yet to be invited to speak at.
