Amsterdam (The Netherlands) will be buzzing on April 3, 2008 when Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht will present and record their famous Diggnation show during the third edition of The Next Web Conference.

Diggnation is the biggest weekly online TV show averaging 500.000 viewers per episode. It is highly popular and influential amongst internet professionals. This will be the first time that Diggnation will be recorded from the European mainland and The Next Web Conference is very proud to host this unique event.

Diggnation is breaking new grounds for web-based video and as a testament Virgin America has recently announced that they will include Diggnation in their entertainment systems. Diggnation has sprung out of Digg.com and discusses the most funny and bizarre news of the week on the web.

Diggnation is one of the shows of Revision3, founded by Kevin Rose, David Prager and Jay Adelson, is the internet TV leader for the next generation.

I hope you like that post!

Seedcamp partners with The Next Web

About a week ago, Saul Klein (Index ventures) and Reshma Sohoni (3i) started a new pan European initiative for startups and talented entrepreneurs (read the initial Seedcamp post).

At The Next Web 2008 edition we will host Showcases of successful/promising European companies, just like we did on the 2006 and 2007 edition. Netvibes, Hyves, esnips, Widsets, Respectance, Zyb, Mobiya, eBuddy and others presented their companies on main stage for the highly tech savvy crowd. We decided that we will give two of the winning Seedcamp teams the opportunity to Showcase their service on The Next Web ‘08.

Teams can sign up for Seedcamp and win 50k Euros (and a Showcase) and have a great experience to be working with Europe’s leading internet entrepreneurs and investors.

A lot of good stuff is happening in Europe (Open Coffee clubs everywhere) and seedcamp is one of those great initiatives that helps Europe become competitive and on the edge. Well done Saul and Reshma, we’re excited to be working with you guys.
