    <title>Mar  2, 2010: Emerging Communications (eComm) America 2010 at San Francisco Airport Marriott</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Why eCommThe Emerging Communications Conference &amp; Awards:<br /><br />

Why Attend Fall 2009?<br /><br />
The mammoth sized telecom industry - including cellular - is in the process of being re-written. You either stand on the side to be written into the past or instead join with the growing community to write the future.<br /><br />
Opportunities to profit from the radical restructuring and in accelerating the development of how humanity connects, communicates and collaborates have never been so great.<br /><br />
Opportunity Doesn&#39;t Always Knock. Sometimes It Calls. <br /><br />
The Emerging Communications (eComm) Conference &amp; Awards was created to promote and accelerate communications innovation.<br /><br />
Telecom, mobile and to a lesser extent, Internet based communications, had been innovation stagnant for far too long. Yet the opportunities for innovation had never been greater. Those opportunities are only going to grow as drastic changes further impact the multi-trillion dollar a year telecom industry. Changes include:<br /><br />
    * Telecom is becoming software<br />
    * Today&#39;s model of the telephony and SMS cash-cows will significantly dry up long-term<br />
    * &quot;Phones&quot; are becoming general purpose always-on computers<br />
    * A march is underway to change how spectrum is allocated and utilised<br />
    * Applications innovation is being democratised<br />
    * The media industry is converging with personal communications<br />
    * Internet-style ecosystems are starting to pressurise the traditional value chain<br />
    * Search engines and computer manufactures are encroaching into the space<br />
    * App downloads; media content and even communication streams are increasingly routing-around operator&#39;s billing systems<br />
    * The telecom kingdom is fragmenting daily.<br /><br />
There is not a migratory way from where we are to the future; this means unprecedented opportunity for those ahead-of-the-curve.<br /><br />
The debut San Francisco Spring 2008 conference broke a lot of new ground and created a forum attracting 300 top influencer&#39;s and 80 speakers from 15 countries. San Francisco Spring 2009 built upon that foundation with world-class speakers and a 25% increase in attendees. Amsterdam Fall 2009 is the debut European event and promises to further cement the community.<br />

    <title>Dec 12, 2009: Michaela von Aichberger - &quot;Notizbuchzeichnungen 2.0&quot; - Vernissage at Kulturbunker Mülheim</title>

Reiseerinnerungen, Städteansichten, Portraits, Annekdoten. Seit sie im Internet die Plattform Twitter entdeckt hat, malt sie Menschen, die sie nie zuvor gesehen hat. Sie lässt sich durch Erzählungen, Tweets und Profilgestaltung inspirieren und heraus kommt Kunst in Zeiten des Web2.0! Schnell gezeichnete, kleine Psychogramme von Bloggern, Schriftstellern, Musikern, Schülern. Mit ihren Kunstwerken ist sie in der Twitter-Szene zu einer Berühmtheit geworden. Die Werke gehen nun auf große Wanderschaft quer durch Deutschland. Begleitet von Lesungen und Lifemusik, werden die dargestellten Personen vor Ort die Ähnlichkeit mit ihren Portraits unter Beweis stellen können! Weitere Infos und Termine unter:  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ich-male-meine-follower.de/img/twitterkunst.zip">http://www.ich-male-meine-follower.de/img/twitterkunst.zip</a><br />
Ausstellungsdauer: bis 02. Januar 2010<br />
Die Künstlerin bietet folgende Specials an:<br />
19.12.2009, 14.30h - Notizbuch-Zeichenwokshop &quot;Schnelle Kritzeleien&quot;<br />
20.12.2009, 14.30h - Notizbuch-Kinderbilder &quot;Wir malen eine Geschichte&quot; Maltag für Kinder ab 5 Jahren<br />
Zitat aus der Süddeutschen Zeitung vom 25.09.2009: &quot;140 Zeichen sind nicht viel. Wer seine Mitmenschen über den Kurznachrichten-Dienst Twitter an seinem Leben teilhaben lassen möchte, muss sich deshalb kurzfassen. Für Michaela von Aichberger reichen 140 Zeichen aus, um sich ein Bild von wildfremdem Menschen zu machen - im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes: Die selbstständige Grafik-Designerin aus Erlangen malt Twitterer, die sie noch nie gesehen hat und mit denen sie noch nie gesprochen hat. Mit ihren Kunstwerken ist von Aichberger in der Twitter-Szene zu einer Berühmtheit geworden. Für ihr Geschäft lohnt es sich auch. Hunderte hat sie schon gezeichnet, und immer mehr Twitterer wollen auch dazugehören. Aus dem, was die Nutzer in SMS-Länge über ihren Beruf, ihre Hobbys oder ihre Erlebnisse preisgeben, komponiert die 42-Jährige in ihrem kleinen Notizbuch kleine bunte Psychogramme, die sie dann im Internet veröffentlicht. &quot;Die Ideen kommen von allein&quot;, sagt sie.&quot;<br />
