The (short!) presentations will be very informal and there's lots of interaction with the audience. Rotunda 3rd floor.
----------
craigslist (Kevin) - Paint a couple of rooms. Get a free flight from the US to Europe. Small ads of all kinds. If a website with such a crappy layout makes it to the top 50, there's gotta be something about it.

picasa (Deb) - Picasa is google's photo editing and sharing software, one of the easiest and most convenient to use. It integrates nicely with picasaweb online photo albums, where you can upload photos, very useful for sharing photos with friends after a party or a trip. It is different from flickr.

sourceforge (Ingmar) - Sourceforge is the world's largest Open Source software development web site, providing free hosting to Open Source software development projects. Another top 100 website.

Presentations will be rougly 5-10 minutes each.
