Graeme Thickins of Tech~Surf~Blog interviews Mike Wheatley, CEO, and Ian Pringle, CTO, of Ensembli at the DEMO ’09 conference, which was held March 1-3, 2009, in Palm Desert, CA.
I stopped at the station where a UK company was showing off its new technology to do web search using “relevance analysis.” As they like to say, search engines, feed readers, and aggregators can’t sense who you are and what interests you, and they certainly don’t anticipate what will excite you. Instead, they overwhelm you. CEO Mike Wheatley (pictured) and CTO Ian Pringle tell me more about what Ensembli is doing to make web search better.

Christine Herron has been active in the VC industry for several years, and is now with the very well respected and active seed-stage firm First Round Capital. I chatted with her on the Pavilion showfloor here at DEMO, just as the lunch hour was approaching. We talked about her take on early-stage investing, some of her firm’s recent investments, and the panel she was about to participate in at DEMO this afternoon.
Graeme Thickins of Tech~Surf~Blog interviews Keith Jacob, head of business development for Coveroo, at the DEMO ’09 conference, which was held March 1-3, 2009, in Palm Desert, CA.
As I was leaving the outdoor setting of the reception, heading for the press dinner, I ran into my buddy Chris Gammill from LA, who’s here with TechZulu.com covering the event. He introduced me to Keith Jacob of Coveroo, another presenting company, based in San Francisco. Coveroo replaces the original back cover of your mobile device or MP3 player with a custom version featuring laser-engraved artwork from your favorite brand, TV show, movie, or artist. (I apologize, my volume goes down towards the end of this one, but does come back up.) I forgot to grab a photo of Keith, so I’m including here a wide shot as the party was wrapping up.

Their company, deskNET SA, is introducing Sobees, which is a social desktop aggregator. I spoke with Nicholas Helke, chief communications officer (shown at left), and Francois Bochatay, CEO.
