Im going to the annual Reboot conference later this week, for the first time in my case. Earlier today I made a profile on the conference website and started marking the talks I'd like to go to, for other delegates to see on my profile and to appear as "attending the talk" on the page for the talk (nifty feature, btw). One of the talks I marked was the one about The web everywhere: $10 paperbacks, $50 phones, $100 laptops and $250 game consoles, because it sounded fun.

Later today I checked out Torill's weblog. The most recent post was about the death of a well-known Norwegian Blogger and personality Tron Øgrim. I went to the memorial site for him and the top post was from someone called Håkon who cant attend the funeral because he's talking at Reboot. Checking out Håkon on Wikipedia, I discover he's the chief technology officer at Opera and was the guy who proposed the CSS format (excuse me my ignorance..(. I'd better go to his talk at Reboot then, I thought. Checked out the name at Reboot and discovered I had already marked the talk, namely that of "The web everywhere:" etc.

Meanwhile, many of the people I discovered were going to Reboot too, have said yes to be my "contact" in the social software system of the conference. It is incidentally the same people that I met last year at Blogforum, that showed up at the reception for Trine-Maria's and Thomas' (the instigator of Reboot) book...on blogs, and whom I link with and to on Kommunikationsforum, Linkedin and whom I socialise with in the context of the DONA organisation. They are all brilliant people but sometimes I get the impression that the Danish - yes perhaps even Scandinavian - social software/blogger/online communication in theory and practice cluster is a somewhat densely linked network...

Anyway, I look forward to seing people (again) at Reboot, listing to Mr. Lie and hopefully meeting a lot of new people too at the venue - which should be possible since more than 400 have registrered!
