Future of Web Apps (FOWA), London 2008

Due to some incompatibility between my new EeePC and the venue wifi network this live-blog was undertaken using the soft-keyboard on my iPhone over a 3G connection.  It is therefore both incomplete and somewhat minimal.  That said, I think (hope!) that there is useful information contained within...

For full details about FOWA see the conference schedule and the videos of the presentations.
