3rd five presenting companies
Session Topic: Community and Collaboration
Who's up first?
OK, wifi now working!
What did we miss?
Spill the beans man!
Just watching Music Shake - making music easiliy. Been done lots of times before, but this looks pretty cool. Actually backing vocals, lots of real instruments.
"You can make surprise music - for your lover!"
oooooh!
Like a better version of a mixed tape?
something you have a need for mick ?
Yeah, it's pretty cool. He just paid $2 on stage from his demo partner to use the song in his youtube video. Crowd favourite.
Now we have http://www.8020publishing.com
Ah, a local company
A combo of print and online media - print magazines?
Are they dying?
actually I've heard of JPG magazine quite a few times, never checked it out though
I've heard of these guys with JPG mag. They were at the Web 2.0 conference in April.
Jpg Magazine - http://www.jpgmag.com
Has Flock already demo'd ?
they won the Circulation Innovation of the Year award so they are doing something right
I like the idea of jpgmag...
And there's a big market for it too.
So many avid photographers these days
They are launching Everywhere magazine.
Let's anyone write the stories and build a magazine.
As long as they keep the quality up, as well.
(I can see the URL they are demoing with...)
What's that all about?
that link times out for me
Yeah, sorry, I fixed the URL now. Not so sneaky huh?
Thanks BJ
it's pretty cool idea
Looks interesting. I love JPG, really nice printing and formatting (btw, the site doesn't seem fully released yet, a bunch of stuff doesn't work)
The panel of experts are now giving their thoughts.
Vossi Vardi - Israel's high tech veteran
Don Dodge likes Music Shake and Story Blender - asking about Copyright. "I got my party spoiled years ago."
hahaha
Ahh, I didn't know he was involved in Napster. *flashbacks*
This article on Everywhere mag makes me want this house:
Mike likes 8020 Publishing.
Wow BJ.... makes me want it too!
lol
I missed StoryBlender - collaborative video production platform
So is it a foreign company (japanese I assume)?
korean
oops. Anything interesting about it mick?
MusicShake is Japanese I think.
Storyblender - said that they are going to just block copyright material - yeah right?
80/20 being asked about whether they can reliably get a mag out and if they check the facts.
tripit.com rock; loaded my next 4 trip in... and it worked. No more CC'ing friends and my mom (whose always asking).
Yeah, that's a good approval - when someone can use your product within ten mins (on bad wifi)
What did 80/20 say about getting a mag out and checking the facts?
Yes, on the getting the mag out - but they have a long lead time.
Washing hands, with copyright - if you upload it, it's your responsibility.
Flock guys are saying - Firefox is only 3 years old. We can do it.
Mike is getting tough on Flock - 2005 Barcamp "It's taken you far too long"
Whoops
"We aren't going to stick with you if we can't rely on you to keep releasing" The community has given you so much.
Nick from Techcrunch just announced the AOL news before their presentation -
http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/09/17/aol-launches-bluestring/
Does that mean I can go?
I was singularly unimpressed with Flock when I first tried it... and thus it has dropped off my radar - but on the other hand, a comment such as Mike's is illustrative of some of what's wrong with the investment community... 2 years is far too long mentality means that most things will crash and burn before they have time for the market to find the real need.... the big winners of today did it in multiples of what's being looked as the cutoff date now.
I used to use Flock, but it was just too much extra stuff for things I didn't need to do. It's nice for less advanced users, but it's a little closed (even thought they try to integrate all services).
Does anyone know when the Google Presentation is supposed to be?
G'day Lorenzo!
Marty: can you get him to give a summary of what he thinks Powerset will do for the web?
Kinda a vague question, i know
I'm here talking to Wayne
He's from http://www.merchantcircle.com
Hey Wayne!
Hey, doing more demos. Tolga is here and I'm showing real time!
Hey Tolga!
Hello Tolga!
Sounds like the demo pit is pretty busy
all the way from downunder
hi
Hey!
GOT ZACH HERE who used to live in coogee
why used to? who could move away?
Used to be good.... too touristy now
Too far away for me. Avoca's my beach. Looks nice, though.
I live there now and it is amazing I shall never leave until the Australian government kicks me out!
I can't wait for summer!
Me either it has been too up and down with the temps to have a good day on the beach yet!
Cold here today. About 20 and lots of fog. Autumn is coming. Time to go back to Oz.
