    The Future of Web Apps Expo opens today in London and last night the speakers were invited to a special speakers dinner. It was extra special as FOWA/Carsonified founder Ryan Carson had his birthday as well. But among the guests missing from this genial event was one Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and FOWA keynote speaker. So, as the saying goes, snooze you lose, Mark. We have the, really very nice, personalised journal Ryan and his team went to a lot of lengths to create. And we’re going to put it on eBay and donate the proceeds to charity. I’ll put it up today and we’ll announce the winner on Friday.

      What’s different about it compared to those all of us at FOWA received, other than him having his name on it?

      Rather than steal Mark Zuckerberg’s present and sell it, wouldn’t it be more polite to send it on to him?
