Tuesday, September 18, Day 2

2:15 pm - 3:35 pm

7 five presenting companies

Session Topic: Rich Media and Mashups

I'm 2 legit, 2 legit 2 quit. Anyone remember the hand gestures?

started?

Is MC Hammer there?

Oh I totally remember the hand gestures, do them right now  Mick get his autograph!!!

my god - what is this?

music facebook app?

What's going on?

pretty funny presentaion

really corny star wars intro with an anoying voice

that get your attention

Would have been nice to have live video streaming...

I'm surprised there isn't any

should be a suggestion for next year

Then no one would pay.

I don't think that's true....

There are only 900 places anyways.

Lots of people who would like to be there but can't for various reasons - like being on the other side of the world!

people would still pay - we dont only come to see and hear the demo's

Exactly

maybe Cuban would broadcast it on HDNet!

Finally some change at this dude heavy event.

Oh yeah?

Who's on now?

Two nice ladies from mEgo, who are most def not hard on the eyes.

rach likes mEgo

tell us about mEgo

reminds me of my mii for my wii

widget of a n avatar of you that you put on all your profile pages and it feeds in all your twitter feeds/flickr feeds etc to inform people about yourself

on myspace and facebook etc

cool

http://www.mego.com

ok now - wiki is on stage

oops i mean - "wixi"

Ah thanks.... I was searching for a link.

I like the look of mEgo!

Maaan.... the names!

yeah the names are a little confusing at times. mEgo is a good one though i think

http://www.wixi.com - an online folder system for organizing your media

Reason I don't like it - interrupts with my typing flow...

Bet they don't think abt things like that when choosing a name now do they?

yeah they all sound like some weird alien language to me:D

For us and may be for many; is the .com available?

and less the 7 characters.

Ah yes....

Wixi looks like Omnidrive to me?

Live coverage of Session 7

Wixi

is a media focused social network where users interact with each other by privately watching, posting, and sharing content of all media types, including photos, audio, and video. The site offers a unique interface whereby media can be managed in the same way files are organized on a computer desktop, creating a true “drag and drop” and “click and play” experience.

i am not big on photos/vide stuff yet so hard to gauge if this is useful or not

tech40access is the signup name people can use

and free storgae for life i think he said

"storage"

Not bad at all!

I like that it is very 'desktop-y'

That's a big bonus for regular net users

I was just think that, I like the desktop format

yes desktopy will certainly help me

ok - we r now on to "befunky"

.befunky.com

http://www.befunky.com

turn images and video into cartoons

Anyone else witnessing all the water carnage from people knocking over the water pitchers when passing? I think I have seen at least 4 full jugs fall all over people's gear.

looks cool

looks like a fun thing for maybe an hour:)

Clay: I don't follow your statement re Wixi "tech40access is the signup name people can use"  - everyone signs up under the one name?

*groan* @ the term Uvatar found on befunky.com

Otherwise the cartoons are pretty cool!

@ubertor that must not be good with so many computers around

here's a sample of a befunky image:

I don't see it bric

gone for me as soon as I refreshed page too

oh now I see it Bric!

I put a link to a saved version in... you should see it now

You type too quickly for me!

hee hee

so who is up next in session 7?

befunky was the last on the list I think

oh okay

@Bricoleur - sorry i meant "conference code" to sign up to private beta - see their homepage - bottom right
