A Bloggers Heyday in San Diego

September 20, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Looks like the upcoming DEMO show will draw a ton of bloggers once again. The PR folks tell me the list already includes such names as TechCrunch, MobileCrunch, Techdirt, GigaOM, Gizmodo, Engadget, ForbesOnTech, buzzmodo, Kauffman’s eVenturing blog, Marc Orchant, Dan Farber, Paul Kedrosky’s Infectious Greed, and others…including yours truly, of course. Demofall06logo I’ll continue to post a heads up or two about companies who’ll be presenting there over the next few days, and will be blogging onsite as well — starting late Monday night or early Tuesday morning, as the opening session fires up.

Oh, many of the usual press suspects will be there, too, I’m told: AP, USA Today, Business2.0, CNet, WSJ, PC Magazine, Forbes, Computerworld, InformationWeek, ZDNet. Notice how I list them second? 🙂

Esther Dyson Calls It Quits (but only sorta)

September 18, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Just got an email from Esther that she’s discontinuing the annual PC Forum conference. Wow, what a bummer… Such a great, long-standing industry event. She leaves a huge legacy. But she goes out in style, after an excellent conference this past March, which I was lucky enough to catch. Estherdyson200 Here’s the terse email she sent to those of us on her Release 1.0 list: “Word has slowly gotten out that the PC Forum last March was the last ever. So let me interview myself.” And a link then takes us here (requires registration), where she explains her decision. It’s all quite upbeat and positive, but it still comes as a shocker. Few individuals command as much respect in this industry as Esther. She’s one of a kind, that is for sure! And many, many people will miss her annual event. She built up a huge fan base and following over the years, and attracted the very finest speakers. Pcforumlogo300_1 Here’s a rundown of those speakers through 2005. For more about the swan-song event in March 2006, read my coverage here. Esther launched her conference near the dawn of the PC revolution, about the time I was going off on my own as an independent consultant, and I’ve followed her all this time, as has the entire technology industry. But, as she reminds us in her self-interview above, she’s not done yet! I know we’ll be hearing much more from her…. Good luck, Esther!

MindTouch Wants to Wow With Wikibox at DEMOfall

September 15, 2006 / / 2 Comments

St. Paul-based MindTouch…no, wait, it’s headquartered in San Diego….no, wait, most of its people are in Minnesota. Oh, who cares — they have a whiz-band new wiki box Mindtouchlogo I’d heard they’d be debuting at DEMOfall week after next. Picked that up at the “MinneDemo” event last week, and I blogged at least a mention of them and Aaron Fulkerson in my recap the next day. Gee, going from “Minne” to the full-on Monty demo at the biggest of all demo venues in the universe — all inside of three weeks! These guys have it goin’ on for a little outfit from Minnesota (or is it San Diego?). Here’s an article from the St. Paul Pioneer Press today that kinda lays it all out — or should I say, lays it on thick? [Example: “the next must-have office machine for small to medium-sized businesses — as common as a fax machine”] I’ll be following up on MindTouch soon, pre or during DEMOfall. Now if we can only get ’em to stop calling their wiki box a “managed office server.” [Can you tell these guys are former Microsofties? Not for the use of the second word, but for the lack of any name cachet. End of editorializing…]

Austrians to Attack DEMOfall!

September 15, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Hey, maybe The Governator will drop by, too? [Becky, could you work on that?] SystemOne, headquartered in Vienna, will be launching its enterprise collaboration platform at the upcoming DEMOfall event. Here’s their one-sentence company description [read with Ahh-nold accent]: “System One helps businesses to ensure lasting success by making optimal use of the knowledge production factor.” Got that? I can hardly wait till their six minutes of fame. Techcrunch reported that SystemOne’s product is a wiki “that gathers your resources as you write.” The writer, Marshall Kirkpatrick, goes on to say: “The real power here is the semantic analysis, the relevance.” Who could not like that, especially any blogger? Trouble is, it’ll be mid-’07 till a version for the little guy is available. They’re starting at the top and dumbing down. Here’s a screencast so you can see how it works. Stand by — I’ll definitely be reporting more on this one from San Diego…
