I really need to find an original way of talking about the conferences I attend

Howdy! First, to all of you really anxious to follow me around (but don't feel obliged, really) twitter (here) is where my “creativity” expresses itself these days. In short bursts of 140 characters max - which I found amazingly annoying but now really appreciate.

May has been crazy busy at work, lots of good developments in the portfolio, and lots of thoughts put in the scaling of my own business. And of course a bunch of conferences. And June is going to look pretty much the same.

First, I am writing this from SFO on my way to Amsterdam, where the Next Web conference is taking place this Friday. A great line-up of keynote speakers, and the super nice organizers, has led me to accept to fly to Europe for a couple of days (ouch). I'll write my preso in the plane on “Investing Around The Globe and the New Connectedness”.

Then, I will speak at SuperNova 2007, the conference put together by Kevin Werbach that takes place on June 20/22 in San Francisco. I will be on the investors panel and might disclose a new investment I have made there and then.

Finally, I will attend another DealMaker Media Under the Radar event, this one on Entertainment and Media (Disclosure: I suggested a few names of companies in the category and was asked to sit on the selection committee of the event). It will take place on June 28th at the Microsoft Campus in Mountain View.

More when I get to Amsterdam, the plane has pulled back from the gate and the flight attendant is not happy that I tell her that I have to publish this. See you on the other side :-).

Thanks for showing up and being as involved as you were. I was told you spoke with, and gave free advice to, a great number of start-ups who were there. Very cool!

Bonjour,

A mix of microblogging (twitter or Jaiku), shareslides and podcats from your conferences should be a good bet for someone with a heavy agenda like you.

A good way to keep having news from you Jeff, even if your blog is not as rich as it used in the past.

Multimedia is a key word!

Cheers,

Jeff: re your pain "I really need to find an original way of talking about the conferences I attend" when you are back in the Bay Area, I would like to suggest an approach you might find useful

BTW is Bernadette related to you? I met her in conjunction with the Stanford Center for Social Innovation.

Dave, feel free to send me an email when you have a chance.

And yes, I am the incredibly lucky husband of Bernadette.
