Update (Feb 24): One of our free tickets goes to Oscar, congratulations and have fun at the conference! Apparently, nobody else was ready to share his or her story after Oscar told his sad story. We’ll give our second free ticket to whoever is next to tell us his/her Doodle story in the comments section.

This year’s Plugg conference will take place on 12 March in Brussels. Doodle is a Plugg media partner and is giving away 2 free tickets! Here’s what you have to do to win one of the tickets:

1. Organize an event with Doodle.
2. Take a screenshot of the resulting Doodle poll.
3. Take some pictures of the event.
4. Upload the screenshot and the pictures to some freely accessible web space (e.g., your personal web site or blog, our friends at Wuala’s space, Flickr,  PBWiki, Wikispaces, …).
5. Tell your story as a comment to this blog post and include the link. Don’t forget to enter your correct e-mail address (it won’t be shown with the comment). Deadline: 23 February 2009 24:00 EST.

The Doodle team (at its sole discretion) will then choose the best (most original, funny, touching, …) 2 stories and announce the winners until 27 February 2009.

(Any comments that are illegal, infringing, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, offensive, profane, or otherwise objectionable will be deleted and disqualified.)

Update: The plugin is now available as Public Beta and can be downloaded here: http://www.doodle.com/about/DoodleOutlookPlugin.html.

Update: The Closed Beta is “sold out” after 1′000 users have signed up. But we’ll soon start a Public Beta phase, which lets everybody participate.

Over the past few months we have been working on a highly demanded Doodle Outlook Plugin. We are now inviting 1000 users to a Closed BETA. To be one of them hurry up and apply. We will send you the download page within the next few days.

The Doodle Outlook Plugin brings together the most popular scheduling service and the widest spread calendaring system in the market. Key features are Suggest, Sync and initiate Doodle polls using your Outlook calendar. The integration runs secure on your local computer without sending any sensitive calendar data to our servers. The plugin is available for Firefox and Internet Explorer. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Plugg is a one-day conference with a clear focus on celebrating entrepreneurship and innovation in Europe and raising global awareness for those European start-ups in the Web / Mobile 2.0 field that stand out in the crop. 

Plugg also runs a Start-ups Rally, a launch platform for emerging start-ups looking for early-stage funding and trade press, tech blogger and early-adopter attention. A selection of 20 start-ups with strong roots in Europe will be carefully picked by a jury of renowned industry professionals out of the submitted companies. The deadline is tomorrow, Feb 4th!
