Would love to know your thoughts on it fundraisey-types x

Exciting.

Probably my favourite event of the year, and in 2007 it was partly responsible for helping our team really push forward. Just like a really great conference should.

So here’s my (unashamedly honest) FOWA todo list.

  1. Talk to Kevin Rose without coming across as a babbling fanboy
  2. Steal a Microsoft bean bag
  3. Get at least another ten Twitter followers
  4. Learn amazing stuff from Matt Biddulph
  5. Try not to lock myself out of my hotel room
  6. Find some brilliant UI developers who don’t shrink at the mention of ASP.
  7. Find a really, really talented freelance Facebook developer (or agency)
  8. Don’t lose all my expenses receipts. Again.
  9. Stay awake during the Zuckerberg keynote
  10. Drink lots of Adobe beer. Party.

Are you going? What’s your FOWA strategy? I need more ideas!

Disclaimer: I am totally trying to win this competition.

Delete some of those people from college that added you and you never spoke to. Or that Italian guy who always does Italian status updates.

My buddy Marc is working on a campaign for the new Simon Pegg movie ‘How to Lose Friends and Alienate People’. It’s based on that Toby guy’s travails as a Brit magazine hack in Manhattan.

Note-perfect casting with Peggster. I really enjoyed the book many years ago so it will be interesting to see how the narrative fits the big screen.

Anyway, they’ve come up with a pretty genius app on the whole losing-and-alienating-friends thing. Here’s a shot:

I think some genuine friends might get irked with this one.

Good work facebook marketeers!
