Ok, this one is a bit late… I’ll blame the lack of decent wifi at FoWA (last time I complain about it, honest).

I didn’t bring my laptop on the Friday, partly due to the monumental drinking session lined up for after Diggnation, and partly as there was a lack of wifi rendering it pretty useless (damn, ok, that was the last time).

To make up for it though, you can find the slides from the talks here:

There are some brilliant talks up there - I’d highly recommend looking through them.

You can also find some of the vids and highlights from the talks here:

Congrats on the Carsonified team on getting these up so quickly - awesome job.

No photos from my camera, from the last day (again, due to the high likelyness I’d lose my camera in a drunken moment), but I’ll be going through the masses of flickr accounts and pulling the decent ones in.

I’ll keep updating this post as the day goes on (internet access permitting) - rather than keep posting.

It’s been a great start to the day with talks from Kevin Rose, Blaine Cook, Joe Stump and Edwin Aoki all giving great insight into the inner workings of the webapp kings. (Photos to come)

Less good has been the talk by Alvin Woon, Stefen Fountain (after the initial sales patter, I wandered off to find some internet), and of course, the Wifi.  Or rather, lack thereof.  Thankfully Sun Microsystems are onhand with a set of boxes ready for internet use.

*update* ok, the internet at FoWA suffered from epic fail all day long.  My updates because of this were limited, to the point where I decided not to bring my laptop for day 2.  Probably a good thing considering how many free beers were on offer, but that’s a moot point.

My favourite talk of the day goes to the awesome Ben Huh of icanhazcheezburger.com fame - unfortunately, there’s no video up yet from FoWA, but I found this from another conference:

Enjoy.

The Future Of Web Apps London Expo starts tomorrow!

For those of you that didn’t make it to last years, here’s the run up to the live filming of Diggnation London!
