Interview
In this quick interview, I talk to Alex and Laura Francis who came along for beers at The Watershed in the first leg of the FOWA Road Trip. They discuss the web community in Bristol and what’s going to be big in web apps in 2008.



Hi Ryan,
Thanks for putting on such a great evening! Hope to catch up again in London.
Hi Ryan,
Why no Belfast stop on the tour? – Northern Ireland fell off the map again!
Id love to see more of a Web scene in this part of the UK and Im sure I cant be the only one – maybe next year we can persuade you to cross the water.
Cheers
David.
Hey David,
We’re trying to hit as many cities as possible. I’m so sorry we can’t make it to Belfast. We’ll do our best to put it on the tour next time.
Any chance you can join us in Edinburgh?
Best,
Ryan
Hi there
Hoping to make it to the Cardiff event – though slightly concerned I’m not techy enough!
Anyhoo – I’m intrigued to know more about what Laura is saying in that video clip when asked tp predict what will be big in 2008… is she saying ‘verb’ or ‘vurb’ or what?
Warmest
Claire
