By Adam Tinworth on October 21, 2008 5:05 PM | Comments | No TrackBacks

Rapid pitches from a variety of start-ups. Equaly rapid notes follow:

Proposition: there's too much information to handle
Provides user personalisation and recommendation engine.
Works on news to retail sites.
It works cross-domain - content from the long-tail. OpenId to sign in.
Plugin - doesn't need publisher co-operation (but they would like it).
Always find your doppelganger - or someone different.
Essentially it stalks your web travels, and suggests other places based on similar users.

Social network / community tools
Social action projects in first phase
Getting idea out (magazine tools)
Network (collab tools)
Fundraising opps and voluntary support
Amazee camp (/camp) - join 150 get free pro, online help desk. Not back office person, CEO doing it! Professor Project Pete weekly updates.
Bucket - money!

All read more, but most text is digital: E-mail, blogs, files
New market for reading devices (eg Kindle)
Missing complete solution for combining texts with organistaion and community
Keep text in the cloud - upload tool. Keep all documents in sync.
Grab webpages - "solid state del.icio.us"
(Grab my content and share without pageviews...hmm)
widget for your blog/website.
Focus on mobile clients, iPhone first.

Uses Bluetooth. No Bluetooth on iPhone. GPS. Using cell positioning, too.
Location aware social network, basically?
Germany, tomorrow. the world in November.
Privacy controls.
Desire to discover new people
Playful approach to making new friends.
Tells you what aka'aki users are near you, what their interests are and probably needs a direct link to divorce lawyers...

Web-based iTunes for YouTube videos.
Embeddable player
Is this just YouTube addon?
Works with other video sites, too
Allows creation of branded player for aggregated video content.
Looks like the channel players you get on a lot of old media sites
(Couldn't YT sweep them away in seconds?)

Imagine a world without Flickr.... We would not using photos like we do today
Doing that for music and audio
Embedable web-based audio upload and management.
Really missing right now. (He's right)
Privacy controls.
Dropbox for tracks. Great for music bloggers.
Liking this one.
