STIRR Sydney

Posted by Angela Beesley on December 2, 2006 (Australia)

If you’re involved with a web 2.0 startup in Australia, come to the first STIRR Sydney event next Wednesday.

Over 75 people have already signed up for the event which will include demos from Remember The Milk, Quotify, and Student Face.
