Future of Web Apps ticket competition
by Mike Butcher
on September 13, 2007

fowa

The Future of Web Apps conference arguably helped kick-start the low-hum of Web 2.0 development in the UK into a higher gear early last year. This year’s event on October 3-5 should prove to be at least as interesting.

Would you like to go? I have one ticket (a 2 day conference pass worth £245 + VAT) to give away to a lucky TCUK reader. All you have to do is leave a comment below this post. Anything will do, so long as you leave an email contact. Perhaps you’d like to mention your web app, even? The lucky winner will get randomly picked (judge’s decision is final etc etc). This comp close on midnight 21 September.

The ever upbeat Ryan Carson of the FOWA’s Carson Systems (who now do more events than they do web apps) is currently on a slightly crazy tour – dubbed the FOWA Road Trip – of the UK, Ireland and Europe to drum up interest in the event, and generally stoke up the developer community. Check out the road trip site for pictures and videos he is taking along the way.

    Oh yes. Me please. Oh, and if anyone wants to be a beta tester of a click to call service for facebook let me know!

    Hi Mike,
    Oh, yes please! The startup budget doesn’t quite extend to these events yet.

    Hi Mike,

    Love one thanks! Nice to see Techcrunch Uk back.

    (Already sorted with tickets, so don’t pick me)

    Looking forward to seeing you there! I think the Diggnation live filming in the evening, followed by the party should be a good laugh!

    Hi Mike,

    Would love to be there. My Website is WatZatSong.com (http://www.watzatsong.com) and is a community to help you name the tunes you have stuck in your head, and it’s effective!

    Good luck again to TCUK.

    A good conf in europe, I would really like to win this place.

  • Johan

    Would love to go. I really believe London/UK (as the web capital of Europe) can make up grounds on Bay Area/US when it comes to web applications, successful start-ups and shrewd M&A activity. We have the talent and infrastructure so let’s showcase it and put ourselves on that map. Initiatives like Seedcamp and TechChrunch UK have been a great step in the right direction. This event will continue that momentum.

    Would be a great place to start some conversations about our coming user-financed film site Kinooga (demo site at http://Kinooga.com)

  • http://londonbikers.com Jay Adair

    Cool idea Mike, I’d love to go.

    We’re putting together something to garner interest from investers so we can develop our platform quickly and launch a new service. I’ve sent MA information on this already at his request, I hope it gets to you.

    Yes, please! :)

    I’ve created a twitter search engine (see here: http://terraminds.com/twitter/ ) and am working on more web-2.0-ish search apps.

    Hey Mike,
    started exploring web apps earlier this year – working online with no budget makes it a must – and now I’m intrigued and loving everything that’s going on! Just been offered a lovely job working in online marketing and want to be on top of the game when I start at beginning October so sounds like the conference would be rather useful…
    In the meantime, check out http://www.eno.org/carmen which I’ve been working on. We’re about to add Facebook and Flickr links. I like the timeline widget – a handy navigational tool :-)

  • Keith

    I’d love to go, I can hang around the Expo before going to the Diggnation filming!

  • http://www.businessitonline.com David Cruickshank

    Hi Mike, please throw me into the hat too!

  • http://www.doyouremember.co.uk Michael Johnson

    Please pick me. I want to see what the future is like. Do we all get hoverboards?

  • Alex

    Great to see Techcrunch UK back. I’d love a ticket please!

  • http://middledigit.net Jonathan Hopkins

    Hello there Mike. Always keen to see new exciting stuff. Please lob me in the hat too.

  • Tim Langley

    Thanks Mike

  • http://ingesti.com/ John Martin

    Just here to pimp my web app: http://ingesti.com/ and win the tickets.

  • http://www.zmarties.com zmarties

    Well maybe I should claim my web apps are in stealth mode…

  • Andrew Smith

    God is everyone so desperate to say they love Mike and TCUK just to get a ticket!!!

    “No pick me Mike you are wonderful and I love you” – good my obligatory statement made and just in case let me tell you about my great start up to ensure it will get me in the draw.

    Sigh of desperation.

    Personally I agree with Andy Mitchell the person most deserving is http://helpmetogotofowa.wordpress.com/ and Mike Arrington should fly him over.

    That would make for a better PR stunt on Techcrunch.

  • http://www.progressiveinternet.co.uk Richard Healy

    If I win, I will be doing a bit of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cK3xB6MClI. Schmoa!

    Don’t pick me – not at all. I do not want to go and definitely do NOT want the free ticket. I am not creating anything of value and don’t deserve it! Repeat – I do not want to go and get a free ticket. (ahem).
