2 days ago we had an amazing day. We started with a meeting with David Shen. But I know you are waiting for the video. And here it is:

See you soon for more videos!

During our third day in the Valley, we met David Shen from Betaworks and went to the Googleplex to meet the YouTube, Android and Analytics team.

The highlight of the day, however, was hanging out with the Twitter team at their offices in San Francisco. We talked for about one and a half hours and the meeting was the most fun we’ve had in the Valley so far.

Thanks guys for having us.

UPDATE: the Video did not export properly, re exporting and will upload in a few hours. Sorry about this.

We’ll post the David Shen movie later on. We tried to film the meetings at Google, but they made us sign some NDAs while visiting. Sorry guys.

We woke up and although still jet lagged we started to do some Skype calls with our development team in Bucharest. Because of the time difference we have a very small window of time to do it.

Web 2.0 takes place in San Francisco at the Palace Hotel. Of course we didn’t buy tickets (we are a startup and we are not crazy enough to spend a fortune on tickets) but we had a lot of meetings set up in the hotel lobby. We met Eric Marcoullier from gnip first. We discussed a lot about architecture and consuming atomic information, the future of RSS etc… We also had a very pleasant lunch at a sushi restaurant with Ted Shelton from The Conversation Group. Ted is an expert on social media and he had a lot of interesting suggestions for us.

On the way to the hotel we got a camera and we will now share some videos. Here is the first one. Kinda silly and stupid but we needed to start somewhere.

See you tomorrow!

We took a morning flight from Heathrow. Foggy morning, it was ready to rain. 10 and a half hours and 4 movies later, we touched down at SFO, in a very sunny afternoon. Quite a difference.

We rented a car and pretty soon we were introduced to the American driving experience: 4-5 lane motorways full of cars and in Palo Alto, traffic lights every quarter mile.

Getting to the US on the 4th of November also meant landing in the middle of the election. Apart from some people wearing Obama tshirts, there was not much else around us announcing this most important event. Seems like TV reporters are way better than us at spotting these things.

We got to our room, turned on the TV and were happy to watch Obama winning state after state. At least we did that until 7pm, when we fell asleep. That’s a really lame curfew for 20-something year old guys, but hey, it was already 3am in London and 5am in Bucharest.

And next morning, we were meeting really interesting people at the Web 2.0 Summit.

We are leaving for San Francisco tomorrow. We have a crazy schedule ahead but we can’t wait…

We are planning to have a video journal with our trip so stay tuned.
