Patrick de Laive’s Summary

I’m a 30 year old Dutch guy and I live in Amsterdam.
I’m an internet entrepreneur and I love the web, its possibilities and the people creating all the cool stuff. I love to read about technology, innovation, and I try to keep track of all new and cool stuff (but it is going so damn fast :) ).

I’m co-founder of Twittercounter ( http://twittercounter.com ), Paydro ( http://paydro.net ) and the initiator of The Next Web™ Conference ( http://2009.thenextweb.com/ ), advisor to http://wakoopa.com and http://twones.com.

I blog at http://thenextweb.com/ This is the leading European technology blog covering startups and technology. My expertise is mainly focussed on online marketing and communication, social media and bringing people together. I'm also speaker at several conferences and smaller gatherings.
