I was last week at the mashup* event organised by etribes team in BT Broadband tower. It was a great event very well organised by the etribes team, thanks again for their invitation.

I met a few interesting people, first was Nadim Saad from Intamac who is launching soon with BT the product called BT Home Monitor. It's a very interesting product, and I think you will hear about it because BT will be advertising this great new product. It will be a good way for homeowners to monitor their house security especially when they are away. We had an interesting chat about posting job ads in big UK job boards and the number of people answering those job ads... About 9 out of 10 were totally inappropriate for the job.

I had a quick chat with Rhys Jones from Accountis who is working in new projects (web2os) which will be launched soon, in social web 2.0 part.

After we had a very interesting panel which was great with a good discussion about DLAs, monetizing, web 2.0 use by the majority, etc... I met Tariq Krim and Freddy Mini from Netvibes after the session, and their view of the new web is totally brilliant. It was a very interesting chat, and they have a very good view of how to monetize their audience... I was doubtful before I met them, but now I'm convinced. If you don't know Netvibes, just try it, it's been my homepage since October 2005, and it is a great tool to aggregate RSS feeds, emails, to-do lists, bookmarks, alexa rankings, Meebo, etc...

You will soon have a JobNeters' netvibes module so you will be able to use the main functionnalities of JobNeters inside your Netvibes homepage.
