Digital Biographer™

The Next Web Blog and associated April 2008 Conference in Amsterdam has been featured on TechCrunch, with Michael Arrington fondly remembering the time the guys behind The Next Web visited his house to pitch him on their Fleck project.

Arrington says:

“Anyone that aggressive, and that lacking in basic common sense and decency, is sure to turn up with a good story every once in a while. Check it out and let me know what you think.”

I think Michael has his tongue slightly in his cheeck, and I can personally vouch for the fact that these guys have a lot of common sense and decency - that’s why I will be attending the Next Web Conference, and why I am one of the Next Web’s WebTipr’s.

So if you are a UK Web Startup, an Irish Web Startup, a Scottish Web Startup, a Welsh Web Startup, or an English Web Startup, do get in touch with your news.

Further news on the April Conference is the participation of Leah Culver, CEO at Pownce, who joins a lineup that already includes Robert Scoble, Werner Vogels and Gil Penchina.
