AVAILABILITY
°° Meeting alert! I am in Berlin only from Sun night to Tues very early morning. Available at all times during that 34 hour period. But I've already seen that some of you who indicated that you want to meet me only arrive during Tuesday. I suggest that we keep in touch online, and via videoconferencing... °°

BLOGGING, TWITTERING
** I don't have a booth at Web2.0, but will be liveblogging, so should be close to the power-strips towards the back of the conference room. If you want to meet me, please post a comment on my profile indicating the subject of the proposed meeting, and I will be glad to!**

These days I am busy exploring exponential trends in business models, looking for signs of an impending Singularity. I often speak at events about Online Worlds, social adaptation, the Accelerating Change, and evolutionary techniques at conferences, and companies.

Just spoke at the Virtual Worlds Forum in London, www.virtualworldsforum.com, which was a lot of fun, and the day before at the World Business Forum, www.hsm-it.com/wbfmi/en, which gave me a diamond quote from Ray Kurzweil.

I am a member of the Singularity Institute, www.singinst.org, and on the Advisory Board of the Lifeboat Foundation, www.lifeboat.com.

I am running Questar, www.questar.it, as its CEO since 1993, having survived and adapted to several revolutions during these years. As the booms and busts of technology cycles sweep aside the disbelievers as well as the unfoundedly faithful, leaving the prizes of consolidated growth to the winning business models, I observe, and participate as much as I can, while keeping my feet on the ground, between two steps, and some jumps.

I obsessively record and put everything online, feeding The Machine, and pretending to believe that it'll always love us back.

As it is the case that I am not a speaker at Web2.0, I plan to change the rules, and prepare a talk which I will record, and put online, about the next generation of web applications after Facebook: "Systems Running Countries: How Social Software Can Save The World". We'll see if I make it! :)
UPDATE: I made it, and this is what I am going to talk about at Ignite. The video is online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZByuuGfRyZg
