If you came here from Digg it would be great if you could actually Digg us too! Do you have a start-up that we should write about? Contact us! Thanks for visiting and hope you come back again!

Thanks everybody for attending or following us online! If you’re not having drinks with us on stage now, you can leave a comment to tell us what you think about the last two days!
One important notice: this blog keeps reporting about the next web! We ARE associated with the conference yet there’s one difference: we’re live the whole year round. So I expect you guys to visit this blog on at least a daily basis ;-)









The Next Web Blog is closely associated with The Next Web Conference which is held annually in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. At this event speakers from all over the world come together to talk about, and show of, the future of the Web. (

Ernst-Jan and the whole team, it was certainly a great conference. I’ve met a whole bunch of interesting people, companies and start-ups. You guys did what you where good at, telling about ‘the next web’. Congratulations!

“Start-up rounds …
4: Symbaloo, Beezbox, Goojet, Hoera, Soocal, Locle and David Hasselhof\”
Little typo there in Soocial.
Great work you guys! Hope to be there next year.

So and now tell us how many viewers you had on the live stream. 10? 100? 1.000? 10.000 views in total?
I bet it was never ever near the 50K concurrent you expected. Maybe 50K views in total during the event. But never ever ever never 50K concurrent.
Come on, share!
