The sun has risen, signaling the start of Web 2.0 Expo Europe 2008.

And with the launch of this year’s event - we also bring to you Six Groups LiveCommunity, our official backchannel. We’ve put this in place to give all of our guests an opportunity to connect, chat and discuss the conference sessions, as they are taking place.

It’s super easy to use this backchannel as it’s been integrated into our Crowdvine social network. When you go to the conference schedule, you will see a bar at the top of the webpage.

Users can either participate through existing Twitter accounts, by creating a Six Groups account, or by using a ‘Guest’ account.

If you’re using Twitter, simply add one of these hash tags for the session you are in and the tweet will automatically get aggregated. SIMPLE!

**SESSION HASH TAGS**
