| - Lanyrd (pronounced and named after "lanyard") was a conference directory website. It was created by Simon Willison and and launched in 2010. The site was created while the couple were on honeymoon. The site compiled blog posts, photos and other coverage from events and keeps it organised by session and speaker. Users on the site were identified through the Twitter API and events were shown to users based on their contacts on Twitter. The company received $1.4 million in seed funding in September 2011, having participated in the Y Combinator startup incubator program. The company was based in the Old Street Roundabout area in London. In October 2011, Lanyrd launched an iOS app for iPhone and iPod Touch devices. To help attendees at the 2012 SXSW Interactive conference in Austin, Texas, Lanyrd launched a special site listing conference sessions and speakers, and letting individuals see which of their friends from Twitter were attending or speaking at the scheduled sessions. They also made the SXSW data available in the form of iPhone and mobile web apps. In addition, Lanyrd produced browser plugins for Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari to filter tweets which mentioned SXSW or were from SXSW attendees. The website became a useful tool for amplified conferences. In September 2013, Lanyrd was acquired by Eventbrite. Post-acquisition, the url lanyrd.com is no longer live. (en)

De website werd ontworpen door het koppel Simon Willison en Natalie Downe toen zij op huwelijksreis waren. Het kantoor van Lanyrd is gevestigd in de buurt Old Street Roundabout in Hackney, Londen. De website ontving in september van 2011 1,4 miljoen dollar aan aanloopkrediet, nadat het had deelgenomen aan Y Combinator, een financieringswedstrijd voor beginnende bedrijven. De website identificeert gebruikers via de Twitter-API. en toont gebruikers evenementen op basis van hun Twittercontacten. In oktober 2011 introduceerde Lanyrd een iOS-app voor iPhone- en iPod touch-apparaten. Om bezoekers van de South by Southwest Interactive-conferentie (SXSWi) van 2012 in Austin (Texas) te helpen, zette Lanyrd een speciale website op met lijsten van conferentiesessies en -sprekers, en toonde ze aan bezoekers welke van hun Twitter-contacten aanwezig waren als bezoeker of spreker bij de ingeplande sessies. Lanyrd stelde de SXSW-data ook beschikbaar in de vorm van iPhone- en mobiele web-apps. Verder bouwde Lanyrd browserplug-ins voor Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera en Safari die tweets filterden die spraken over SXSW of die van SXSW-bezoekers afkomstig waren. De website is een instrument geworden voor zogeheten amplified conferences die veel technologie gebruiken. In november 2012, toen LinkedIn zijn evenementenfunctie sloot, werd gezorgd voor een integratie van LinkedIn-gegevens in Lanyrd. In september 2013 werd Lanyrd gekocht door Eventbrite. (nl)
