Future of Web Apps and the future of Burt and Copybox

8 October, 2008

Another week, another geek conference. This time it’s a old time favorite, FOWA in London. I spent the morning listening to Alvi from Plurk disclosing the ideas driving the awesome Plurk UI, and how to approach adaptive UIs and personalized experiences. Not bad at all.

The time since we presented Copybox at Techrunch50 has been insane, thousands of e-mails with suggestions, praise, invite requests etc. We’ll be making some cool announcements in the coming weeks on how we’re planning to proceed to build the worlds first creative writing tool and how the business is going to be built… yes, we have a business model ;)

Time to start listening to the speakers again!

Retrophone

Having a Blackberry is like having vinyl records. Retro-cool, but you still secretly use your Iphone at night when noone sees you.

Bubbleboy

Umair Haque, the dude behind Bubblegeneration just talked here at FOWA. Delightfully arrogant (in a good way) but guilty of abstracting way too many concepts for this audience; he sure can structure insights in how ubiquitous interactivity and dirt-cheap information access will change tomorrow’s economic landscape (aint’t a mouthful). I’m very fond of his “Plastic beats specific”-idea where the successful players of tomorrow will make assets that can be remixed/repurposed/recombined. They will be the glue in holding the modular LEGO-firms together. I couldn’t agree more.

Going to the Future of Web Apps

29 September, 2007

I’m a bit annoyed I didn’t recieve and invite for Web 2.0 Summit, but to feel a little less disconnected (Stockholm is not the creative internet explosion it once was) I’ve decided to attend The Future of Web Apps in London next week. If you’re going, or know someone who are, send me an e-mail!
