Dopplr’s Matt Jones appearing at Picnic in Amsterdam today
Several of the Dopplr team are in Amsterdam today to attend the Picnic ‘08 conference. Look out for us, and get yourself some of our new stickers.
At 4.20pm on Wednesday, Matt Jones is speaking on a panel entitled
The Emerging Real-Time Social Web.
Update: here are the slides from Matt’s talk on the panel
“With ubiquitous internet connections and a surge of connected mobile services, slices of reality can be saved that people could not capture before. Saving and sharing our presence, we can feel those of others as well. We are on the verge of a reality with ‘social peripheral vision’, in which ambient friendships flourish and life stories and life’s details are stored, shared and searchable.”
Linda Stone is moderating the panel. We were delighted to read rthat a Dopplr coincidence with Linda was a factor in danah boyd finding an exciting new job at Microsoft R&D. A lovely example of the
Brave New World of Digital Intimacy.
If you’re travelling to the conference, you might like to join the Dopplr Picnic ‘08 group we’ve created for the event. Add your trip, see where everyone has come from, share tips on Amsterdam, and use the member list to keep in touch after you leave.
Sorry to be missing Picnic 08 - and more importantly the opportunity to get your new stickers! Any chance of you sending me some in the UK? Happily pay a fee for postage and such.
Cheers!
