we need the same initiatives in malaysia and singapore. more awareness about entrepreneurship and more openness towards failing while startingup.

didn't know you went to SIME. My friend's company organises it. This company called Result. I am sure you were aware of this "passing indian" or that "rising india" video. That was him. They're organising another event called hubbub07. www.nustart.sg/hubbub07

Apparently and according to Michael Arrington, facebook blocked the word "myspace" from their facebook surveys application. And if this is any indication . . .

This, my friends, is what's called a killer application. ;)

Own face -> Pants
Other cool pictures -> huge potential

I think if this application can be linked up with all the different groups out there, it would be a killer!

I have always wanted a tshirt about pluto or growing up in the 90s but am too lazy (and it's too expensive as well) to get it printed. But if these guys work with the admins (whether facebook would allow it is a different matter. or if they find a way) of the various groups, it might take off.

Facebook's idea to create an ecology or a marketplace for businesses looks all set. I am curious to find out whether facebook might end up like myspace in the years to come due to competition or for whatever reason.

Re: Post-Hej! Backchannel reflections

sriram — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 05:18:07 -0000

During conferences, usually one doesnt give 100% attention to the speaker. Assuming 65% attention is given, i guess the backchannels merely provide the listeners a good option for their remaining 35% of attention. =D

Hmm...I dislike the idea of moderation. I think one essence of Onelinr is that it provides an unguarded pathway for airing of views and comments.

How about this? Create two categories, moderated and unmoderated. People can choose between these two options and then accordingly add the number of moderators they want and set the 'moderation level' to the level they're comfortable with. As opposed to hiring moderators across the board. For instance, event A can have tight moderation but B has a slightly slack one (determined by organisers). Event C can have no moderation whatsoever.

Give the power to the people!

Re: Post-Hej! Backchannel reflections

sriram — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 05:29:24 -0000

and yep...your idea of giving the option to the user for moderation will work.

Re: Post-Hej! Backchannel reflections

sriram — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 06:17:19 -0000

Quick thoughts from the back of my head. I see a fundamental difference. it depends, if you want to give moderation to select few or to all.

If you want to have a selected person(s), then they could have the extra option of an "X" button next to posts.

If you want to give it to the masses, the users could digg it. But issue would be how many diggs mean ultimate deletion? Who decides this? What's the cut off point?

Unless, you have a "flag (or flagg =P) if inappropriate" button. The moderators can then decide if the post is deemed inappropriate.

Re: Post-Hej! Backchannel reflections

sriram — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 06:35:03 -0000

yeah...should also think about not affecting the flow of the chat. Meaning users shouldn't be forced to take any extra step (page pops up, additional mouse movements to other parts of the screen, new sentences to type etc). It all should go with the flow with minimal disturbances to hand or mouse movements.

That mark as inappropriate button could come at the end of the sentence as opposed to a fix spot at the right or left hand side of the screen, for instance, so it minimizes hand movements and increases the user's flow with the postings.. ;)

Re: Post-Hej! Backchannel reflections

sriram — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 06:37:26 -0000

it will also be a good indication on where the sentence ends. one thing i notice with onelinr is that if it's not a onelinr, it takes an additional step of looking for the original sentence.

Chris, valid points brought up. I remember reading Bjorn Jeffery's (one of our speakers at our web2.0 Hej! 2007 conference) blog about the value of internet currency.

In a nutshell, it says in order to 'attract' users, some form of currency will be used during the 'transaction' and he listed them down below here:

This might be helpful to you for your understanding of the 'activated community'.

Cheers

jaiku's design beats twitter hands down. and yes, it is awesomez. the most important feature is that it shows updates from friends in a non invasive manner. it answers my question, "what have u been doing all day" or "what have u been doing lately"... and i don't see it as a personal feed aggregator. can't wait to get my hands on a n95! =D

Very good video. I have used Adwords myself and find it really easy to use. But I dont think I have fully utilized it the way Jeff said in the video.

Thanks Robert for adding. I like the fact that you're pretty transparent and open with whatever you're doing. I too strive to be as transparent as possible to everyone but just curious to know where do you draw the line?

sriram — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 19:00:22 -0000

Ok great. I was watching the video when I posted the comment above. I was 35mins in and now I have to watch it all over again. Robert, can you have it such that if the video is already loaded, you can load it again countless number of times within the same period or usage etc?

That would be good.

Re: My Jaiku interview getting praise

sriram — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 08:29:34 -0000

thanks. a youtube style loading of videos would be good. because if you refresh the page, the video buffer would have left off from where it began as opposed to starting again from scratch.

Robert, I have organised conferences too and I am a student. USD 2000 ones...way smaller than a D: All things D or a T40, but hey, I had sleepless nights before the event as well. It's not about the sleepless nights Robert, it's about how much thought and attention to detail. Sleepless nights mean jacksh## if some of my delegates or participants had no place to sit during the conference etc etc. I am all in favour of DD here.
