Despite fewer companies than last year, lots of nice products from this first crop of DEMO presenters
Here are more of my favourite products that I saw on the first day of the DEMOfall conference in San Diego, Calif.: Digsby’s dotSyntax, Fuze Meeting by Fuze Box, Gelato dating, H-P’s SkyRoom, Date Check by Intelius, Lyrics Legend by TuneWiki and Waze.
Digsby’s dotSyntax
Digsby helps people save time by managing their IM, email, and social network accounts from one easy-to-use desktop application. Digsby organizes IM accounts into one combined buddy list, while providing a newsfeed for social networks so users can easily track the online conversations most relevant to them. Digsby provides an efficient way for users to stay connected to friends and for professionals to manage brands without the need for browsers or multiple programs.
Fuze Meeting by Fuze Box (formerly Callwave)
Fuze Meeting is the first and only cloud-based collaboration technology to combine high-definition content, social contact integration and mobile technology to deliver a rich, real-time meeting experience. More than just desktop sharing, Fuze Meeting lets companies and individuals quickly and easily achieve greater productivity and cost-savings while maintaining a people-centric collaboration experience.
Gelato dating
Gelato melds real-time search with online dating. We leverage your Facebook profile, Twitter account, Netflix queue, Pandora stations, and other social media channels to build a dynamic, multifaceted stream that updates your account automatically. It takes less than 2 minutes to create a profile. That profile is verified and accurate because it reflects what you’re actually doing, making it harder to create fake profiles and easier to meet like-minded people.
H-P’s SkyRoom
H-P SkyRoom is affordable HD-quality videoconferencing software with full collaboration for instant face-to-face meetings. Using breakthrough video and image transfer technologies, SkyRoom is the only affordable videoconferencing tool to offer live collaboration for up to four people using rich media content over standard business networks. With SkyRoom, companies now have the power to change the economics of travel and reduce their carbon footprint while preserving the value of highly personal human interaction.
Intelius
Todays dating scene is tough to navigate, so Intelius developed DateCheck, a free mobile app that deciphers fact from fiction. Simply enter a name, phone number or email address and instantly get accurate and comprehensive results. Features include Sleaze Detector (helps safety conscious), Compatibility (karma), Net Worth (dollars and sense), Interests (social network), Living Situation (household members). Be in the know when on the go. Download DateCheck: Look up before you hook up.”
Lyrics Legend by TuneWiki
TuneWiki launched an application for Nokia phones that can display real-time lyrics over any song that is playing on your phone.
Waze
Waze is a free mobile navigation application that allows drivers to build and use live maps, real-time traffic updates and turn-by-turn navigation to improve their daily commute. Waze also has a social element that gives drivers the ability to actively update one another on traffic, police traps, construction, speed cams and more. Because its 100% user-generated, the more people who use waze, the better (and more fun) it gets!
BPshould rot in hell for what they have wrought.
Off the grid electricity can be a safer choice when used properly.
