You’re still reading, aren’t you…? Curious about what will happen next, right? Well you better are because there are a couple of things we want to show and tell you in the upcoming days.

But first of all: a big “THANK YOU” to all of you who collaborated in the execution, production, promotion, realization of this iniciative! YOU: the interview partners, the blogsphere, the online supporters who left messages, the on- and offline media and a special thank’s to the people of infonomia for the support and their inspiring “Why not? Just do it!” attitude.

Most of you out there understood immediatly that MySpace in Barcelona was the tangible object of desire that gave the campaign its “raison d’être” and that there was something more profund and serious about this (to some people) “innocent” proposal and the call for support. The underlying objective is (or was) to atract any interesting national, multinational company - the more innovative, unique, cutting-edge, creative, inspiring, job-creating the better - to Barcelona. How? Well, we tried to do it our way: showing the human potential of this piece of land, this unique mix of people and location that makes BCN (still) interesting.

You know what some people’s (and some institution’s) reaction was? 1. “MySpace is part of News Corp. and News Corp. is Rupert Murdock’s planet so why should we be interested?”. Or: 2. “Don’t you have anything better to do than bringing a North-American multinational to BCN?. Ad 1. Came on, don’t be hypocritical - if anybody thinks that this city can afford to select interesting entrepreneural projects by the ideology of its board of administration, go ahead. But don’t call us a bunch of innocents! And ad 2. Well, señoras y señores: Yes, we have better things to do: Actually, we should have started a campaign about global warming and the side-effect on Barcelona because 2 days ago I sat on the beach and it was 24 degrees celsius! But seriously, why shouldn’t a group of people start to try to influence certain decisions that seem relevant to them on a local scale using the Internet in a creative, connecting, global way? Isn’t that what the so-called web 2.0 is all about: connecting mind-likes?

Stay tuned, don’t unsubcribe form your RSS and let us know what YOU think!
