Living in the West Coast of Europe has its perks: the sun, the food and most of all, the people. Growing as a child in the North of Portugal, studying Business Management in the Center and now working in Lisbon was Armando’s crash course in cultural ethnography. As diverse as the people he met, is his interest in several disciplines: from marketing to Actionscript or Buddhist teachings.

Since 2006 he’s been writing the blog asourceofinspiration.com, one of the most influential European blogs on marketing and advertising, is a guest author at osocio.org, the worldwide reference on social marketing and co-hosts a Portuguese videocast about technology and communication.

He loves when people get together because, not despite of technology. If you don’t find him on Twitter, then it’s probably because he’s grabbing a cold Super Bock beer and some fine appetizers by the seaside, just a few minutes walk from FullSix Portugal’s office.

Multi-touch screen that can be used by many users at the same time, RFID to recognize registrants and deliver personalized information based on their profile. This looks awesome. I wanna play with it. Is it too late to register for the Cannes Festival???

PS: SXSW organizers, you’d better be working on something like that for next year festival!

Tip hat: Thanks Devrin!

A bit of auto-promo. Back in March, Tyler and I were in Austin for SxSW, since PleaseFixtheiPhone was up for a SxSW Web Award. And we met with Jim Hopkinson from Wired magazine for an interview about the site and its impact on the development of the next generation iPhones. With the launch of the 3.0 Software Update announced this week, it was the perfect occasion to release the interview and have a look and which Top Wishes were taken care of by Apple. Article available on Jim’s blog, and podcast on iTunes! Thanks Jim!

Facebook just made official what they had told us few weeks ago: starting at 12:01 a.m. EDT on Saturday, June 13, you’ll be able to choose a username on a first-come, first-serve basis for your profile and the Facebook Pages that you administer by visiting www.facebook.com/username/ so if you want to avoid the trouble of dealing with cybersquatting for your brand (company) and if you have a pretty common name, make sure you stay a bit sober on Friday night and don’t plan to hit the bars before late!
