Future of Web Apps ticket competition
September 13 Mike Butcher
The Future of Web Apps conference arguably helped kick-start the low-hum of Web 2.0 development in the UK into a higher gear early last year. This year’s event on October 3-5 should prove to be at least as interesting.
Would you like to go? I have one ticket (a 2 day conference pass worth £245 + VAT) to give away to a lucky TCUK reader. All you have to do is leave a comment below this post. Anything will do, so long as you leave an email contact. Perhaps you’d like to mention your web app, even? The lucky winner will get randomly picked (judge’s decision is final etc etc). This comp close on midnight 21 September.
The ever upbeat Ryan Carson of the FOWA’s Carson Systems (who now do more events than they do web apps) is currently on a slightly crazy tour - dubbed the FOWA Road Trip - of the UK, Ireland and Europe to drum up interest in the event, and generally stoke up the developer community. Check out the road trip site for pictures and videos he is taking along the way.

Oh yes. Me please. Oh, and if anyone wants to be a beta tester of a click to call service for facebook let me know!

Hi Mike,
Oh, yes please! The startup budget doesn’t quite extend to these events yet.
September 13th, 2007 at 12:14 pm
Hi Mike,
Love one thanks! Nice to see Techcrunch Uk back.
September 13th, 2007 at 12:18 pm
(Already sorted with tickets, so don’t pick me)
Looking forward to seeing you there! I think the Diggnation live filming in the evening, followed by the party should be a good laugh!

Hi Mike,
Would love to be there. My Website is WatZatSong.com (http://www.watzatsong.com) and is a community to help you name the tunes you have stuck in your head, and it’s effective!
Good luck again to TCUK.

A good conf in europe, I would really like to win this place.
September 13th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Would love to go. I really believe London/UK (as the web capital of Europe) can make up grounds on Bay Area/US when it comes to web applications, successful start-ups and shrewd M&A activity. We have the talent and infrastructure so let’s showcase it and put ourselves on that map. Initiatives like Seedcamp and TechChrunch UK have been a great step in the right direction. This event will continue that momentum.

Would be a great place to start some conversations about our coming user-financed film site Kinooga (demo site at http://Kinooga.com)
September 13th, 2007 at 12:44 pm
Cool idea Mike, I’d love to go.
We’re putting together something to garner interest from investers so we can develop our platform quickly and launch a new service. I’ve sent MA information on this already at his request, I hope it gets to you.
September 13th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
Yes, please!
I’ve created a twitter search engine (see here: http://terraminds.com/twitter/ ) and am working on more web-2.0-ish search apps.
September 13th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
I have nothing but a vague desire to enter contests.
September 13th, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Hi Mike,
I would love to win an entry. As you know we are Germany´s largest social bookmarking site and have just launched an international version http://www.mister-wong.com so we could use the international exposure.
Good luck to all the participants
September 13th, 2007 at 12:56 pm

September 13th, 2007 at 12:56 pm

Great news! Glad TechCrunch UK is back again! Keep the good work. Oh and btw, the FOWA roadtrip should stop by Madrid, not just Barcelona :((
PS: I hope the luck is on my side!!
September 13th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Hi Mike - count me in.

I missed the freakin’ student tickets, should have checked more often.
September 13th, 2007 at 1:27 pm
I don’t want one (working the expo floor), but I heartily support this determined lad from Thailand’s bid to reach FOWA… http://helpmetogotofowa.wordpress.com/
September 13th, 2007 at 1:34 pm
No web app as such to announce publicly (yet…) but still interested in the ticket.
September 13th, 2007 at 1:42 pm
Hi Mike, include me in the draw please!
September 13th, 2007 at 1:45 pm

The expo looks great! http://www.worldreviewer.com
September 13th, 2007 at 2:30 pm
I’ll join the back of the queue
September 13th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
Great to see Techcrunch UK back and roaring!
September 13th, 2007 at 2:53 pm
I would love to go - the last one was great fun. Also, good to see TechCrunch UK back in action!
September 13th, 2007 at 3:34 pm
Would love to go too, but the students tickets sold out, so this seems to be the last chance …
September 13th, 2007 at 3:40 pm
class Ticket :tc_subscriptions
September 13th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
I’d like to go, because I like to keep up with the latest stuff.
September 13th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
putting my name in the hat…
September 13th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
Hey Mike,
started exploring web apps earlier this year - working online with no budget makes it a must - and now I’m intrigued and loving everything that’s going on! Just been offered a lovely job working in online marketing and want to be on top of the game when I start at beginning October so sounds like the conference would be rather useful…
In the meantime, check out http://www.eno.org/carmen which I’ve been working on. We’re about to add Facebook and Flickr links. I like the timeline widget - a handy navigational tool

I’d love to go, I can hang around the Expo before going to the Diggnation filming!
September 13th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
Hi Mike, please throw me into the hat too!
September 13th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Please pick me. I want to see what the future is like. Do we all get hoverboards?
September 13th, 2007 at 5:55 pm
Great to see Techcrunch UK back. I’d love a ticket please!
September 13th, 2007 at 6:19 pm
Hello there Mike. Always keen to see new exciting stuff. Please lob me in the hat too.
September 13th, 2007 at 7:07 pm
Thanks Mike
September 13th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
Just here to pimp my web app: http://ingesti.com/ and win the tickets.
September 13th, 2007 at 7:51 pm
Well maybe I should claim my web apps are in stealth mode…
September 13th, 2007 at 7:57 pm
God is everyone so desperate to say they love Mike and TCUK just to get a ticket!!!
“No pick me Mike you are wonderful and I love you” - good my obligatory statement made and just in case let me tell you about my great start up to ensure it will get me in the draw.
Sigh of desperation.
Personally I agree with Andy Mitchell the person most deserving is http://helpmetogotofowa.wordpress.com/ and Mike Arrington should fly him over.
That would make for a better PR stunt on Techcrunch.
September 13th, 2007 at 8:29 pm
If I win, I will be doing a bit of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cK3xB6MClI. Schmoa!
September 13th, 2007 at 8:30 pm
Damn Full Stop…
September 13th, 2007 at 8:33 pm
Fingers crossed!
September 13th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
Worth a go since I’ve been conference free this year
September 13th, 2007 at 9:13 pm
I too have been conference free this year….
September 13th, 2007 at 9:57 pm
My boss got paid to go to the SF one last year so please can I go to London?
September 13th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
Glad to see TCUK is back
Fingers crossed, and good luck to all!
September 13th, 2007 at 10:57 pm

Don’t pick me - not at all. I do not want to go and definitely do NOT want the free ticket. I am not creating anything of value and don’t deserve it! Repeat - I do not want to go and get a free ticket. (ahem).
September 14th, 2007 at 10:55 am
Oooh…I’m good at prize draws!
Here’s my web app http://www.blobble.net

September 14th, 2007 at 3:21 pm
Count me in!
September 14th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
Would love to go, we haven’t got too far with the implementation yet, but have lots of ideas.. is that OK?
September 14th, 2007 at 6:38 pm
Yes. ME. You heard it here first. Now all i’m missing is the ticket!
September 14th, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Want it.
September 17th, 2007 at 10:10 am
