I bought a white suit yesterday. For those of you who don’t know why, I’m glad to tell that it’s one of the most infamous clothings in the Valley. Ask the San Jose Mercury News, ask Micheal Arrington, ask Wired. They’re all familiar with the meaning of the suits: entrepreneurial trouble from Amsterdam. And now they’re coming back, with a slightly different team and a different mission.

This time we want to put our European Web 2.0 blog under your attention, let’s discuss the European start-up scene and its influence on the technology industry.

Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco 2008We’ll show up at the Web 2.0 Expo (April 22 – 25) to cover and learn about the latest developments in our beloved industry and especially to meet people who also think outside the Valley. After all, that’s what our blog is about. So are you a social media watcher whose also interested in Europe, building a start-up that aims for the European mainland or do just want to learn more about our wine-and-cheese lifestyle? Then look for the guys in the white suits.

Boris and I are looking forward to meeting you and have a good and interesting time!

    “So I guess I see you when I’m holding a beer in my hand ;-)”
