sixgroups.com will be a media sponsor of the next Going Solo Conference, an educational web conference which will be held in Leeds, UK on September 12th, 2008.
Our advisory board member Stowe Boyd introduced the Livecommunity to Going Solo organizer Stephanie Booth who integrated the Livecommunity on the conference website yesterday. She also posted a really nice explanation on how to participate on her blog. sixgroups.com also offers premium packages for conferences. Feel free to inquire about these if you are interested.
The Livecommunity on going-solo.net will aggregate everything happening on major web 2.0 media services (flickr, Technorati…) related to the Going Solo conference. Just join the community and tag you photos, videos ang blogposts with “goingsolo” and use the Twitter hastag #goingsolo to make your media appear on the Going Solo website. We hope to provide a service, that will add to the overall experience of the conference and foster communication and interaction among its visitors.
The Online Marketing Düsseldorf (OMD) takes place in Dusseldorf on September 17th and 18th, 2008. With its wide-ranging exhibition offering for the digital marketing economy, including congress, workshops and specials, the fair has emerged as one of the most important platforms in the online marketing industry. In 2007 there were more than 250 exhibitors and more than 11.000 visitors.
Djure Meinen of 50hz who is in charge of the social media activities of the Online Marketing Düsseldorf installed the Livecommunity on their official blog theME08 to connect visitors and exhibitors of the fair. Furthermore the Livestream aggregates all media related to the fair which is posted to flickr, sevenload and blogs (Technorati).
Twitterers please use #OMD or #theme08 as hashtags, media and blogpostst should be tagged theme08.

That was fast… it took the developers from construktiv (the company behind mister-wong.de and lifestream.fm) only one day to fully integrate the six groups activity feeds into lifestream.fm.
Lifestream.fm is a social media aggregator, which puts all of your online activities in one place. This way your friends can instantly keep up-to-date whenever you write a new blog entry, post pictures on flickr, post videos on YouTube, write on twitter, are active on facebook, and bookmark on Mister Wong… and now also when you are active on six groups.
The service is currently in closed beta. But nevertheless: we have a bunch of invite-codes. Just leave a comment here and we will send you an invite-code.
If you are already a lifestream.fm user all you have to do is to enter your six groups username and all your six groups activities will appear on lifestream.fm.
Matthias Pfefferle, blogger at http://notizblog.org/ and gifted programmer at Communipedia has just released a small wordpress plugin that makes integrating the Livecommunity into a WordPress blog even easier. All you need to do is copy the plugin to your WordPress blog installation, activate it and paste the Livecommunity code into the textarea. That’s it. No more template editing needed! Great work. Thanks a lot to Matthias for providing the plugin to the public! Download the plugin from his blog.
Anfang dieser Woche ist Freundenews.de online gegangen. Das Startup von Kai, Ole und Vincent hat es vor ein paar Monaten mit einem kleinen “Copy-Cat” Skandal u.a. zu einem Artikel auf Techcrunch gebracht.
Was steckt hinter Freundenews.de?
Die Idee ist, sein digitales Leben und die Aktivitäten seiner Freunde im Internet an einem Ort zu bündeln. Ich kann in meinem Freundenews-Account meine Accounts von verschiedenen Online-Diensten eintragen. Alle Aktivitäten bei diesen Diensten werden dann automatisch bei Freundenews.de aggregiert. Meine Freunde können somit an meinem digitalen Leben teilhaben. Das Stichwort hierzu heißt “Lifestream” (mit “f” wohlgemerkt).
Im Grunde genommen funktioniert Freundenews so wie der “Livestream” von six groups, nur dass dort die Aktivitäten von Personen im Netz statt relevanter externer Content rund um Inhalte (per Tags) aggregiert wird.
six groups und Freundenews.de
Wir haben uns für eine Kooperation mit Freundenews entschieden, weil es aus unserer Sicht absolut Sinn macht, seine six groups-Aktivitäten zusammen mit anderen Online-Aktivitäten an einem Ort zusammen zu führen.
Also, einfach einmal ausprobieren unter Freundenews.de
