What I Like at DEMO So Far…

January 28, 2008 / / 0 Comments

Well, it hasn’t even started yet, but looking over the list, perusing the press room, and chatting with a few folks, these companies are some I definitely will be checking out…

• BitGravity – who can’t like the company with the technology that will be live streaming DEMO for the very first time? (watch DEMO.com starting tomorrow morning to see their work)
• Blist – world’s easiest database…makes relational database creation and management as easy as using a spreadsheet
• HubDub – DEMO describes this one as a brilliant marriage of news aggregation and prediction markets, and these guys came all the way from Edinburgh…great Scot!
• Livescribe – a new kind of content creation tool (how could I not like that?)…its Pulse Smartpen is a computer in a pen that records and links audio to what you write on paper (ooooh)
• Redux – a new concept in social networking, using a unique set of algorithms based on user actions and  personality preferences

That’s just a start. There are 77 presenters!  More soon….
