Twollo.com is the new Twitter application knocked together in super quick time by my mate Paul Kinlan, and even though it’s written with Google App Engine ( blech! ) it’s a cracking little solution.

A simple twist on the Twitter search, it auto follows people that match your search terms and is remarkably good at finding cool people. It works best with targeted search terms, searching for ‘Internet’ is asking for trouble! I searched for JQuery and it instantly found me 40 fellow JQuery fans all happy to chat and offer advice.

It’s way better than Mr Tweet, as that only serves up super high profile tweeters like Scoble et al. Twollo really digs out long-tail users that are better matched to your interests. A great service that is only going to improve and offers functionality that Twitter itself is sadly missing.

Billed as an ‘event where outstanding individuals gather to take part in an exclusive conversation about technology, ideas and our future’ it’s a great chance to see some of the best speakers the planet has to offer in action. Highlights on offer include:

Steve Clayton, Microsoft’s Software plus Services Lead and all round top bloke, demonstrating some of the coolest new technologies to come out of Redmond, including what’s expected to be a first UK demo of Live Mesh.

The Fake Steve Jobs (a.k.a. Dan Lyons, Senior Editor at Forbes), author of Internet sensation The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, giving his unique, hilarious take on the world of technology, the people who drive it, and the future of media.

Greg Dyke, Chairman of the British Film being interviewed live on stage by Andy Allan, the former CEO of Carlton Television, about management and leadership challenges, as well as his views on the future of media.

World-renowned inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil speaking via stunning Teleportec technology about his groundbreaking work on The Singularity and the point at which computer intelligence will surpass our own, in every form.

Hopefully it should be clear to you that with such a lineup set to appear, I’m more than a little excited to be one of the lucky 400 who gets to attend!

The advantage and simultaneous problem of the web-twenny design rulebook was that every site looks the same….a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. Anyway here’s a link to the current state of the art in web design. Clean, sharp looking design that carries itself with confidence and individuality.
