Jamming WebGeeks in for WebJam
Twitter.com being down forced Sydney’s web geeks to get together. My first WebJam, and it r0x0red. Needed more cash to purchase the t-shirt. Sorry, ’bout that.
Andrew Muller from Builder.com.au on the night.
GO WEBJAM Melbourne!
So, my rough notes from the night:
- Bigbrother voting style on SMS with live results on screen
- shout out to funkycoda, scenariogirl, rails t-shirt geeks, mick from tangler
- Woohoo in crowd for everyone’s favourite web 2.0 in au tangler.com
- Adobe funded drinks went in 20mins (thanks Claire)
- More geekier people than web 2.0, but more “off” than “on” (as Mossyblog said, down-tools time)
- WebFS the world
- Mossyblog heckled by rubber chicken lovers at rear of audience
- acidlabs; revolution social computing nice. Hello, Stephen. I agree: web2.0 cultural change in corporations is going to be really interesting
- singlebutton de-thetan machine was my second favourite
- Silk Charm attended and started a new un-industry association, with goblins hodge and lachlan (first of three lachlans) as mascots.
- rails vs python in the crowd. I am a pythonic.
- reactive dot net 2 global corporate challenge flash google maps dot net 2 my favourite as it mashed everything together, web2-style.
- spice web2 geek dance. waiting for the <video> **winner**
- vjloops logo flash director loopz for videos. Nothing wrong with AfterEffects, however many tools reach the same ends.
- “and you can podcast it“
- ai bot module for ecommerce sites. ask a question rather than clicking through
- spaulds rockin’ demo. well trained by Mark Szulc.
- Yes, Prime Minister: viral marketing from http://samesame.com.au. It appealed to my inner 14 year old.
