In Buenos Aires, people from the web industry is gathering for Palermo Valley, a great networking opportunity. Last Wednesday I joined them in the nice Marca Futuro showroom and found out about many new projects and also great results for current companies in the country.

There’s a lot happening around here. Many good projects like Copada, Geelbe, Keegy, LemonTV, Popego, PsicoFXP, Coworkcentral, Killer Startups, 11Feeds, Finclu, etc. The best part is the cordiality of the Argentinian entrepreneurs, so I’m glad to be around. A short video from there:

It’s been a while since my last video. This was shot in the Campus Party event in Colombia this week. The event first started in Spain and now is expanding strongly to Latin America. This is a Lan Party that gathers groups of users like gamers, developers, bloggers, free software enthusiasts, etc.

Blogging from the airport of Guate City, getting ready to board to San Jose, Costa Rica where I’ll meet a couple of good friends to catch up and find out what’s going on in the Internet scene in Ticoland.

Next week I’ll head to Bogota (will be my first time there) to also meet good friends from Colombia and be part of the first Campus Party over there. Will it be better that the one in Brazil?

Then, I’ll do another short stop in Lima. Next Saturday 28th, I’ll meet with bloggers, twitter users and web people to chat and record another chapter of InSilico, a nice project from Alexis.

And finally, Buenos Aires. While listening to Puerto Madero from Kevin Johansen, I wonder about the adventures ahead.

If you’re around let me know.

Uma saudação desde São Paulo, uma gigantesca metrópole que está recebendo pela primeira vez o Campus Party no Parque Ibirapuera, ou Bienal, como melhor se conhece. Graças à equipe de Windows Live eu vim passar uma semana no Campus, onde pude contrastar interessantes diferenças entre o mercado de Espanha e o de Brasil. E sem dúvida, encantado de conhecer este pais tão latino americano e tão especial, onde a alegria predomina e vem socializar, aprender e compartir.

The last paragraph was translated with the help of my friend Anna. I was basically telling about my first trip to Brazil to participate in the Brazilian Campus Party here in Sao Paulo. I had the chance to be a Campusero in the Spanish Edition of Campus Party in Valencia twice already. It is a great event to meet people involved in development, design, blogs, videogames and other computer and internet stuff. And we’re talking about heavy users so watching their habits and enjoying all the user content that populates flickr, twitter, youtube and tons of other websites is amazing.

If you want to learn more about Campus Party in Brazil, check the posts in spanish from Eduardo in Alt1040, Manu in Gizmologia, Carolina and Juan from Clipset and also the work from the Pixel and Dixel team (they are also updating the official Spanish blog). Laneros is also broadcasting live for the colombian community where the Campus is heading next. And if you want to follow all the information for the event, check the great aggregator fromo Blogblogs.

La mejor forma de entender y conocer la ciudad de Montevideo es a través de su Rambla. Las diferentes playas identifican a varios barrios de la ciudad y son el perfecto punto de reunión para convivir con la pareja o los amigos en compañia de un mate. En Uruguay el consumo de Mate resulta adictivo y en todos lados encontrarás personas caminando con el termo bajo el brazo.

Cuenta con interesante arquitectura en la Ciudad Vieja donde destaca la gran Plaza Independencia y el Teatro Solis que recientemente fue remodelado. Y para los que quieren comer bien, es imperible una visita al Mercado del Puerto donde la carne se prepara exquisitamente. Claro que los pop-ups humanos (esa gente que te invita sorpresivamente a visitar cierto restaurante ofreciéndonte alguna que otra cosa extra) están también a la orden del día. Para los amantes de los helados nada como una visita a la Cigale, la famosa heladería local.
