The #2 Pitch Arena will be dedicated to
Social Apps
. Special focus will be
on the difference between the 1st generation social apps (Netlog, Hyves,
Facebook, Orkut ...) and the 2nd generation of social apps (see the list
with our start-ups). What are the ingredients to build a social app anno
2009? Is there still a market for another Facebook? How is the market of
social apps changing? Are social apps of the 1st and 2nd generation
collaborating, how? How can you collaborate or build on top of the 1st
generation social apps? What should be the strategy to kick-start a new
social app?
Learn from the best, the
largest & most promising European social apps from the Benelux
presenting at #2 Pitch Arena like Netlog, Respectance, Taatu.
