The (short!) presentations will be very informal and there's lots of interaction with the audience. Rotunda 3rd floor.

----------

eyeos (Evangelia) - This site gives you a 'virtual os'. Think of some simple operating system running on a remote server ... and you can access it with a web interface! Access your documents from anywhere and with any machine.

flickr (Irina) - Flickr is the picture sharing site and one of the most trafficked websites on the web. Put your fotos on the world map, blog them, share/organise/comment/group/rate them, popularity, favorites.

hospitalityclub (Ingmar) - Wouldn't it be nice to have a network of friends all over the world? Going to Rome, Beijing, Kaiserslautern, Seattle for a couple of days? Get to know the city by meeting some locals for a tea, or even staying at their home - for free.

Presentations will be rougly 5-10 minutes each.
