This is the last day to enjoy our early bird discount, good for $100 off tickets. In other words, if you haven’t purchased tickets yet, now is the time! Head here to get ‘em.

SNAP Summit^3 is looking to be our best conference yet. Pivoting off the boom in social applications, we’re expanding our focus to look at user experience and engagement, a topic relevant not only to app developers, but anyone who’s building on the social web.

Help us choose who to invite as speakers to this fall’s SNAP Summit.  Cast your vote and share your ideas at http://rfop.uservoice.com/pages/snap_summit3

And for those lucky folks who read our blog, we are offering an Economy discount till Friday the 26th.  Head on over to http://snapsummit3.eventbrite.com/?discount=ICanHazRecessionPlz

Facebook just launched dozens of new features; MySpace is welcoming developers by the hundreds; Bebo and Hi5 continue to spread internationally; and SNAP Summit continues to thrive.

We are doing it again: only bigger and better.  We will be reaching out to our past attendees to learn what you want to hear, who you want to meet, and what you want to see.  The venue is bigger, the internet is stronger, and the day is already looking to be exciting.

50 Limited Early Bird Rate tickets have just been released, so pick yours up now.

Thank you all for making SNAP Summit 2.0 our best conference yet.  We would love it if you would take a moment to fill out a survey, so we know how to make it better next time:

We are reading your thoughts and taking them into consideration.  Christian and I will be making larger, double-sided badges, for one.  We will also make sure there is better internet (we did work on it for this event, but complications continued to arise.)  We will look into other venues, but they are hard to come by affordably in this town.  We also hope to get a better media arm for the company, complete with a regular blog and recordings of our events, but at least for this one we will be getting all the slides we can up online.

So thank you all for your feedback already; we look forward to seeing you all at our future events.

To celebrate MySQL joining Sun, they are hosting an open bar immediately after SNAP Summit 2.0, and have invited our attendees to come!  So following an inspiring day of talks, continue the conversation with the wider Bay Area tech scene.  We hope to see you there.

Time: 5:00-8:00 p.m.

Location:
Jillian’s at Metreon, 101 Fourth Street (between Howard St & Minna St),  San
Francisco, CA 94103 (around the corner from Moscone Center)

If you’re coming to SNAP Summit 2.0 from out of town, and looking to save money on hotel fare, check out our page on AirBed & Breakfast. It’s a cool new site that lets you find people who are heading to the conference, and who’ve agreed to let people crash with them while the event is in town.

If you’re local, you can volunteer your space and connect with someone really cool in the process. Check it out!

Due to the high demand and purchase rate we have already seen today, we will be extending our low rate tickets to SNAP Summit 2.0 until Tuesday the 18th.  At that time, all ticket prices will go up $100, so be sure to get your ticket today!

Need a ride? Have a car? Post your neighborhood/city and whether you are willing to drive, have a car, or need a ride for Monday the 18th.

Need a ride?  Have a car? Post where you are and what you can do or need, and hopefully we can get everyone up to the city who wants to come to the panel “Opening up the Social Platform” on the 21st.

So we just had our first SNAP Chat in Palo Alto.  We had about 50 attendees, with great food provided by Wilson Sonsini.  What did you guys think?  What questions did you not get to ask?  I always feel I am ending these events long before discussion has died down, so feel free to continue it here.
