Dublin and Bewley’s played host to some of the Internet’s top global names recently during the high profile Dublin Web Summit. Sitting in the James Joyce Room of the café to meet journalists were YouTube founder Chad Hurley, Lastminute.com founder Brent Hoberman, Bebo founder Michael Birch and Divyank Turakhi, co-founder and CEO Directi. Also present was Dylan Collins, founder of JOLT Online and chairman of Gruupy and the organiser of the Web Summit, Paddy Cosgrave. It’s great to see that Bewley’s Café is still a haunt for creativity and intellectual discussion as it has always been since 1927.

The excitement and significance of the overall occasion is reflected in this article by one of Ireland’s top technology journalists, John Kennedy, editor of SiliconRepublic.com.
