If you awnt to get Tim to come to Cork, there is a very real chance. He is from Cork originally and he visits here at least once a year. Through it@cork I have approached him on more than one occasion to speak. Now that the Web 2.0 copyright thing is well and truly behind us (I had very friendly breakfast with him on the Wed morning), I think it is a distinct possibility. James, thanks for the kind words about my keynote.

It was great to hear the story straight from the horse's mouth, and be able to ask questions. It would also be good to hear from more technology-focused companies rather than community-oriented bubble-surfers, but I think it is always important in the business sessions to get the "main man" on the stage, the person who was central to the success, as opposed to the senior strategic deputy product marketing manager. Brendan - no problem, sorry to hear I missed you in Cork! Stephan - I hope you know it was meant in the nicest possible way :)

Berlin as a city is pretty amazing - definitely a place which has had the hand of hisory placed on it many times. I agree with your point on the underwhelming business content, its what I came to hear and it was'nt there to any great extent. I expected to hear real start-up case studies and did'nt.
