trutap

We are all excited as being selected as one the startups to enter the Plugg Start-Ups Rally 2008.

Plugg is a one day conference focused on raising global awareness for European start-ups in the Web / Mobile 2.0 field. In combination with an impressive list of speakers, one by one visionaries and/or field experts from a variety of industries and all with ties to Europe - there will be a place for 20 hot start-ups to showcase their business ideas and realizations. One of them will walk away with the Plugg Start-Up of the Year Award.

Plugg has an interesting variation on the Techcrunch40 model.  Trutap CTO - Carl Uminski has 2 minutes in the morning to deliver our elevator pitch and to convince the audience and jury to vote trutap as one of the three finalists in the afternoon session.

Doug is heading for Berlin to deliver the key note Socialing Mobile: the future of the phone! on the second day of the IIR Telecoms Web 2.0 Conference,  10-12 March, 2008.  We hope to get a podcast for those who can't make it and post it here.

If you aren't going to the conference but want to meet Doug you can contact us here.

Doug is delivering the key note speech on Mobile Social Networking at Ten's Mobile Entertainment 2008 event, March 5th London.

Thanks to everyone who came to see us at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week. Around 200 people joined trutappers Carl, David, Luke and Vinny at our sponsored Swedish Beers event (no, we’re not Swedish, but yes, we like beer) on Tuesday 12^th for a marathon evening of, ahem, “networking”.

We’re already planning our trip for next year. :)

In case you missed it, trutap has been been named as one of the top ten mobile social networks to watch by New Media Age magazine.  It's only 14 weeks since we launched - so we're pretty chuffed. It's always nice to be noticed ;)
