Just looking back at our first blog entry on March 3rd . . . We’ve grown since.

—————————————— 

Hej! I am the first to post for this blog. Cool. Well, I am part of the Content and Speaker relations committee within Hej! 2007. As you can imagine, our main job is to schmooze around with the who’s who of web2.0 entrepreneurs from Stockholm while sippin’ some pina coladas and jammin’ to some electronic music. Only the former holds true, unfortunately.

Couple of weeks ago, Dilip and I met up with Eric Wahlforss. Eric is a final year masters student from KTH. Read about his blog here. We spoke about our conference and from the beginning, Eric was very excited to hear about it. We then lamented on how there is not enough web 2.0 publicity in Sweden and stuff. Eric is currently embarking on an online social network project relating to the music industry and we thought, Hej! wait a second, that’s soo web 2.0. Couple of coffees later, Eric told us he would love to participate in Hej! and gave us a list of web 2.0 entrepreneurs/bloggers in Sweden to contact. Eric will be speaking about trust issues in web 2.0 as well as extending his experiences in the music industry. Did I tell you he’s an independent music producer? Also check out the company he started with his buddy Adam Wern and later sold on ebay..all within 24 hours.

So…welcome on board Eric. Your enthusiasm has not only given us more…enthusiasm but also has opened up an array of web 2.0 contacts in Sweden.

Look forward to more posts after this. We will keep you guys in the loop about everything and anything related to Hej!.

T.I.H
This. Is. Hej!
