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

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.

DEMO 09 – Interview With DEMO Presenter Primal Fusion

Graeme Thickins interviews Peter Sweeney, CEO of Primal Fusion, at the DEMO ’09 conference, which was held March 1-3, 2009, in Palm Desert, CA.
Time was growing short, and I still wanted to interview a couple more presenting companies before DEMO ’09 was history…so, I pointed myself toward Primal Fusion’s booth. This company piqued my interest with its talk on stage about “Thought Networking.”  They describe their solution as a “brainstorming partner.”  I got CEO Peter Sweeney going here with a major, detailed pitch…probably more than you bargained for! (he’s showing me stuff on screen that you can’t see) … but hopefully you’ll get the gist of this very fascinating semantic solution. Peter is pictured below at left, with Robert Barlow-Busch, director of product design.
