Well, my trip to Vancouver for Democamp05 was pretty good I must say. I arrived at Workspace Headquarters fashionably late and piled into the tiny little elevator with 5 other people to head up to the 4th floor. There was some question as to whether we’d make it since the elevator wasn’t really indicating to us that the selection made was accepted (bad UX BAD!). Workspace has a wicked coffee bar as soon as you enter – I think I’ll just sit down here thank you very much!
There was a fair amount of people there, unfortunately all seats were taken so I sat on a desk – which wasn’t too bad, at least I could open up the lappy and twit. The 30 second speeches started and then everyone started voting. Twemes, Localiti (Jason Murphy), Pulse, and Scannerfly were voted in for their talks. Every one of these were interesting:
Twemes: Use global tags in your twits for searching. This was written over a weekend – right on!
Localiti: Facebook Jason for details, but it’s to do with bridging the IM/Voice/Email/TXT/etc gaps into a single UI. He’s looking for a CTO and Biz partner.
Pulse: Cool facebook app that informs you about your latest bands.
Scannerfly: Turn your webcam into a barcode scanner!
Sorry, haven’t got the flickr embedding done yet – head here to check out my camera phone pix. Thank you Boris/Megan for organizing!
