MinneDemo 3

I’m a week late but I thought I would post some quick reflections of MinneDemo 3.

Well over 300 people there; a good mix of friends and new faces. The most value was in the conversations and networking as it was the last time.

All the demos were interesting but a couple were really intriguing:

• Pokeware showed their technology to embed links into video keyframes. This will make for some interesting business models (imagine this combined with YouTube, for example); check out their NBA proof of concept here.
• Crashplan showed their Linux client and a new small business backup solution (basically a multi-user version of their core software). I’ve been using this since I saw their talk at MinneBar this spring; highly recommended.

I’m looking forward to the next event coming up in December. Great job again from Dan and Luke.
