David Sifry

It’s really an invaluable afternoon for me. I met David Sifry, founder and CEO Technorati, a leading blog search engine, in the Nokia World 2007 in Amsterdam.

After attended his session on social media and network during the conference in RAI center, I looked for him to have short conversation about blogging and Web 2.0.

First I sought him to the Speaker Room, but a staff there said the David was not in the room.

Thanks God, I saw him near the main auditorium, and he welcomes me to talk with him.

He said, social networking site like Facebook and micro-blogging sites like Twitter and Jaiku have possibility to be the next killer apps for mobile technology. “As long as these services could be the part of the user’s life.”

The micro-blogging service, David explained, could be more than just ‘what you do’ but also ‘who you with’. “For example, I took your picture using my mobile-phone, I upload it to the service, your friends or network would add me as their friend…”
