Our web footprints, last minute Barcelona update, and some SIME love

SIME goes south to Barcelona, scanning the digital scene in Spain and taking more learnings into the knowledge ecosystem. And with SIME 2009 slowly getting traction, we thought we should do more to get closer to the digital world, hear from you guys and give a SIME perfectly tailor made to what the expectations are. So here are some channels for a start that you can follow us in:

1. Twitter - quick 140 character updates for the soul at http://twitter.com/simeblog

SIME @ Twitter

Add us: @simeblog

2. Facebook Page a place where all the quick status updates go to (predominantly for the non-twitter-ers). Facebooking, being the world’s favorite passtime, we expect a lot of interesting discussions and traction from the platform.

3. Facebook Group - of course, its like a press corner in Facebook, to connect with members, check the cornerstone of SIME - a good starting point if you are not aware of what SIME is.

4. Dopplr -   clearly you see that SIME is tremendously international, and we love what we are seeing already. Hope to speak more with the crowd through Dopplr

SIME @ Dopplr

Marko Ahtisaari, CEO of Dopplr, a regular SIME -ite and featured speaker at SIME Barcelona, will be previewing the Dopplr iPhone App, and will talk about places, people and mobility. So if you are as intrigued by Dopplr as we are, the wait is not too long!

5. Hash tag anything with #SIME or #SIME (example <#SIMEBarcelona>) at Flickr, Twitter etc, thats cool.

Share and spread the love: what other online channels would you like us to be? Rest assured, the geeks in us are looking for cooler ways to make the SIME ecosystem closer, and if you “geek-out” something before we do,  do shout to us at info@sime.nu or leave them as comments.

Barcelona Update: Net Jacobsson, the evergreen man from Facebook is stuck in the US, and will not be joining us on stage at Barcelona. We wish him good luck anyways, and hope the SIME crowd can get a chance to meet and hear him again in an upcoming edition of SIME pretty soon.

Barcelona, here we come. Are you ready for a good time?

Some interesting news from the SIME-sphere

Dopplr launches public profiles. If you want to share your trips with people, and get to know about those coincidences when you happen to be near good friends, Dopplr is the place to go. Dopplr CEO Lisa Sounio did an appreciated talk at SIME 07, and with her team she has now launched public profiles on Dopplr, so that trips can be shared with people outside Dopplr as well. The feature would have been announced at the Reboot conference, but due to illness it was released on the Dopplr blog instead.
