Twitter widgets in Mixercast!

Months ago, when we were developing the platform for Mixercast, it was unanimously decided to keep the architecture as open as possible. We sincerely believed that the Web 2.0 (yeah, yeah... I know that the word really doesn't mean anything anymore) is not just about social networking and user generated content... its really about the seamless integration/mashup of a multitude of services. Today, now that the site is alive and kicking, that decision might well turn out to be one of the best ones we ever made.

The integration of Twitter into Mixercast, literally took us no more than a week, and more such services are "coming soon". If you are a flash developer, you would really understand the beauty of this - flash running inside flash, and all the users need to do, is drag-and-drop! Isn't that how the world is supposed to be?

22@ Barcelona - Why Europe May Become The Hub

Sunny weather, exotic landscape, historical architecture, outstanding tourist attractions, incredible quality of life... we all know about these pluses in the major parts of Europe. However, no one ever looked at that place and said, "This can be the next valley". Well, attempt is made to change that soon.

"22@Barcelona Project goal is to transform 22@Barcelona into an international platform of reference in the creation and development of innovative companies that will serve as magnet to young entrepreneurs of all over the world and making of Barcelona an entrepreneur capital.

Due to this reason, 22@Barcelona promotes several initiatives to provide the district with infrastructures and mechanisms of high support to entrepreneurs. Thus, specialized working spaces and services are created, with the participation of the different institutions linked to entrepreneurship, such as the Local Development Agency Barcelona Activa, la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya o El parc d'Innovació de La Salle-URL."

I keep hearing about a variety of efforts to attract entrepreneurs and the creative thinkers. Also, my opinion of Spanish people is very high in general. So, I am thinking of spending few months checking out the innovation scene in Europe this summer. Let's see.
