What the FOWA?

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’. On both counts I’m a little creeped out and shall be carefully monitoring the difference between a web app conference and a World of Warcraft convention, which I should stress, I have never been to. 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.
