DEMOfall 2010: A Chat With VoiceBase About Its Voice Storage, Search, and Sharing Platform

September 16, 2010 / / 0 Comments

WalterBachtiger+SpencerLord-VoiceBase Speaking of DEMOgod Award winners, this was another — though we didn't know that till an hour or so after I stopped to interview CEO and founder Walter Bachtiger. (That's him on the left, with Spencer Lord, Chief Voice Officer/CTO.) This was one of my favorite demos on stage earlier in the day, because I could see what a great productivity tool it would be for bloggers, writers, and researchers (just to name a few). I wanted to be sure to find out more, and see a more detailed demo up close. VoiceBase-logo VoiceBase transcribes voice files (audio now, video coming soon) that you upload to their site. It then posts those transcripts to the site, and enables you to then search within those files for keywords you specify. It also let you share those files on social sites. I can't wait to use it myself — in fact, I'll start by uploading these DEMOfall audio interviews of mine!

DEMOfall 2010: A Chat With ParticleCode About Its Solution to “Code Fragmentation”

September 16, 2010 / / 0 Comments

GuyBen-Artzi_ParticleCode I stopped to chat with Guy Ben-Artzi, CEO and cofounder of ParticleCode, which would later be named one of the DEMOgod Award winners. The "Particle Platform" the company introduced is an open and extendable cross-platform IDE that automates the porting process, allowing developers to create native apps using languages such as Java, ActionScript3, and C#. ParticleCode-logo Because it lets developers more efficiently create and maintain their apps through the use of a single code-base, Particle enables teams to focus on more innovative cross-device experiences. The Particle SDK currently includes plug-ins for all popular smart phone and tablet OSs.

DEMOfall 2010: A Chat With Primal About “Thought Network” Publishing

September 15, 2010 / / 0 Comments

Primal-PeterSweeney+DerrickCho I heard last week about a company that was returning to DEMO to introduce something new.  I'd seen Primal at DEMO '09 in Palm Desert (they were called Primal Fusion then), so I was interested in getting an update. The company introduced on stage today a product called "Primal Pages for Publishers," based on a very interesting semantic technology they call "Thought Networking."  When you're a blogger or a writer, you pay attention to this stuff, a big part of the promise of Web 3.0.  Primal-logo With Primal, you build a topic, kind of a dynamic outline of sorts, and it essentially fills it in as you go along. As Peter Sweeney, founder & co-president says, "publishing gets easier."  Hey, that future can't come too soon for me!  With Peter in the photo is Derrick Cho, director of sales & marketing.

DEMOfall 2010: A Chat With SocialSmack About a New Way to Engage with Brands

September 15, 2010 / / 0 Comments

SocialSmack-MattCurtin Get ready to hear the phrase "Props and Drops" a lot, at least if SocialSmack has anything to do with it.  I heard last week these guys would be here at DEMOfall, and I knew I'd have to interview them.  SocialSmack-logo This startup, based in Austin, TX, is all about giving consumers a better way to express themselves about the brands they interact with on a daily basis.  I had a great chat with Matt Curtin, founder and CEO.

DEMOfall 2010: A Chat With Rocky Mountain Ventures About Their Mobile Scanner

September 15, 2010 / / 0 Comments

DEMOfallReception-250w  At the opening reception Monday evening, I ran into the folks from Rocky Mountain Ventures, and learned about the new product they would introduce the next day: the CaptureID Mobile Scanner. This company, based in Fort Collins, CO, is headed by a long-time HP engineer and inventor, Gordon Nutall.  And I also spoke with Ranjit Singh, COO, who’s a former Xerox executive. The beginning of my interview got cut off (duh, I missed hitting the on button in the glare of the sun!), so we join it in progress.

In the photo I took of the company’s on-stage pitch on Tuesday, that’s Gordon Nutall on the right, and marketing manager Lisa Milner on the left.  RockyMtVentures-OnStage In the interview, Gordon and Ranjit also refer to the company’s previous consumer-market product, the FlipPal portable scanner. The new CaptureID product being introduced at DEMOfall takes the company into a new direction: B2B and professional markets.
