David sent a message on Facebook.

Hey all!

We promised you it would be an EPIC party, and that is what we have been working hard in the last few days to do.

Some quick notes:

Party is TONIGHT at 909pm-101am.

It's at One Fifty-Seven (157) Park Ave. State College, PA. (Directions & Parking are on the event page).

What's a party without some music? We've enlisted the help of one of the hottest DJs in town, DJ Rictor. http://www.facebook.com/l/5....

The Daily Collegian wrote an awesome article about us! See it here: http://www.facebook.com/l/5... (http://www.facebook.com/l/5...

Please bring a $10 donation for charity: water -- but COME anyways, even if you don't have the $$. If you can't make the party -- donate here: http://www.facebook.com/l/5...

We have some GREAT sponsors -- Starbucks, Panera Bread, W.R. hickey, Fletchers Bottleshop, and QDOBA! We may have a few more today!

There are over 100 of you who've said you can make it! If everyone comes and donates we'd meet our $1000 goal!

If you have a song request, please send it to me now! Call or text me with your song(s) to request: http://www.facebook.com/l/5... or send me a Facebook message.

This will be the most epic party of the year.

Epic.

Or something like that, right?

Come dry, get wet.

Eat. Drink. Celebrate.

Party.

Wumi & Chungy style.

we were running our alpha test (and still are, but now it is pass-pro) at heekya.net. you could view created stories but unless we let you in could not register. we're back head down now though, working on making Heekya and releasing a more stable platform. see ya in a few weeks. :)

More than a blogging portal. More later. :)

Oh, and by the way, this fall we'll be looking for some awesome interns.

hey Varun,

The social presence needs to be in the town, or the app needs to create a social presence?

The interface. Patent Pending simply means the company has filed for a provisional patent around technologies it thinks are propietary.

Re: After domain squatting, here comes online identity squatting

DavidAdewumi — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:47:37 -0000

So how do you suggest social software apps do usernames and provide a permanent address for their users?

Re: Plurk: Twitter meets FriendFeed

DavidAdewumi — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:08:00 -0000

aKan,

Thanks for the update.

Next time, let's try to chat by phone to iron out any misinformation -- email didn't work too well for the both of us!

Congrats on your funding and launch.

Re: The Race To Social Network 2.0

DavidAdewumi — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 12:31:23 -0000

Duncan, but the problem, I feel, is still around the inability to play around with that content. Users can import and aggregate media, but as of now, can only simply comment or "like" the content, and don't have the ability to organize it in a meaningful way.

Importing Flickr photo updates in a newsfeed or Friendfeed is great, but there's a lack of ability to actually play with it.

Re: Longtail, meet Fashion social networking

DavidAdewumi — Sat, 31 May 2008 03:12:04 -0000

Trendible and Chictopia seem to be the main one for fashion designers.
Thanks for the heads-up to our readers.

Re: A Commenter’s Rights

DavidAdewumi — Fri, 30 May 2008 23:31:56 -0000

Is it really necessary to make those superficial edits? Publishers editing comments is semi-propaganda. If, as Carlo says, one leaves racist/sexist/inappropriate comments, they should simply be deleted.

Re: Longtail, meet Fashion social networking

DavidAdewumi — Fri, 30 May 2008 23:15:30 -0000

Richard, agreed that there are a few social networks in the fashion space, but do you have any particular ones in mind that exist in the Fashionspace model (a la Etsy) providing a marketplace for the fashionistas and designers?

Re: Chicken or the Egg?

stoekl,

I am a "man at work" on such a project, although I can't promise a name with the english vocab thing.

with so many domain squattrs, very difficult to find a name that means anything that you want.

Re: Alumni Discuss What an IST Degree is Worth

DavidAdewumi — Mon, 19 May 2008 17:36:42 -0000

Yah, most of the argument is sour grapes. No degree adequately prepares anyone for real work, and those who only learn what they are formally taught won't learn much regardless of degree program.

Mark Twain once said "I'll never let my schooling interfere with my education."

Real learning does not begin at the university, nor does it end upon graduation.

Re: Penn State, MIT, Stanford, CMU: Which one in this group doesn’t belong?

DavidAdewumi — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:00:06 -0000

The VCs wont naturally come.

Powerful people are well connected, and if entrepreneurship was a priority
of the University than they could attract a VC biz plan competitoin akin to
DFJ competition.

For those who say "well only the winner takes money."

Not true, those events attract tons of VC firms, so all companies presenting
would have a chance to network with VCs and get much valuable feedback.

It's not just about money: Penn State has tons of intellectual property
sitting in the tech transfer office that, used by determined entrepreneurs,
could be turned intos ustainable businesses.

I just got off the phone with the COO of the winning company from the DFJ
ECVC and he, who graduated MBA from Cornell in 2004, teamed up with his MBA
class, and they made a pact to spin out R&D/licensed technology from Cornell
and create commercial opportunities.

There is only 10-15 of those MBA students, and they have already spun out a
number of tech, bio tech, and energy business companies.

He also is pushing to receive grant money from the state.

Re: Penn State, MIT, Stanford, CMU: Which one in this group doesn’t belong?

DavidAdewumi — Mon, 19 May 2008 03:37:45 -0000

Angsana,

As a long time missionary and humanitarian, I completely agree with the concept of "social entrepreneurship." That being said, I've seen very often how a for-profit business can effect social entrepreneurship in a way non-profit could never dream of. The reverse could also be said, but by an order of magnitude lower, imho.

Will have ot check into mootcorp

Re: Penn State, MIT, Stanford, CMU: Which one in this group doesn’t belong?

DavidAdewumi — Mon, 19 May 2008 02:47:03 -0000

Caroline,

Do you want PSU to go private?

I'm not so much interested in that whole debate, but rather if thats what
you'd prefer.

Penn State must invest in entrepreneurship, because that investment will
reciprocate by orders of magnitude. Even in the DFJ competition, it was not
the Ivy's money it was a VC firm.

PSU can atttract the top fortune 500 companies, than why not top VCs?

Re: A Blog Is Not A Forum

DavidAdewumi — Mon, 19 May 2008 02:33:08 -0000

you might try emailing the founders --- founders|disqus.com and letting them know --- you've brought up a very valid point, and a high barrier to entry, which I'm sure they'll be interested in your suggestions.

Re: Alumni Discuss What an IST Degree is Worth

DavidAdewumi — Mon, 19 May 2008 02:30:19 -0000

"The faculty work very closely with many of founding corporate sponsors to develop a curriculum that fit their needs."

That itself explains much.
