Thursdays are for Twestival

One of the interesting personalities I got to know around the th!nk about it launch event was Bente Kalsnes. I've been following Bente's blog for a while now in my RSS reader (now migrated to teh google, and yes, it's better). As far as I can see she's writing at the intersection of at least two blogospheres - a global-european-belgian sphere that focuses on social media, and the eurobloggers to your right.

Bente's pushing the Brussels twestival, so I'll put in a plug here. Looks like a very cool event. If you're in Brussels and have a few hours in the evening this Thursday the 12th, you should probably go there.

In the mean while, the Berlin twestival seems to have died a quiet death (and no, I don't have the time or contacts to organise it ;-)). I'm reminded of something Joe Noory told me over on the Atlantic Review: Berlin is not the place where cultural novelties start. But Berliners keep at what they like. And so Berlin is the great city of techno, still. And if there's a twestival next year, or sooner, we'll see...

P.S. twestival has a charity: water. Should be a consensus moment. It's even Lomborg-approved...

Ah, and there's a piece in New Europe that you should probably read.
