Mashup Camp - Day 2 Overview

This was another packed day (07/13/2006) of sessions, not quite as many that I was directly interested in.

Here are the sessions I attended:

  1. Speed Up Mashup Development
  2. Social Networking for Young People (run by a 16 year old girl)
  3. User Acquisition and Retention – Part 2

In the afternoon, another speed geeking session took place. I had great response to the demoing of SecretPrices again. I had some very enthusiastic women “bargain hunters” giving me some very positive feedback, as well as a developer saying it was “the best site idea” he had ever seen. By the time speed geeking was over I had ended up collecting enough wooden nickels (used to cast votes) to lock in around 5th or 6th place. I edged out Nasser of Frucall by just a few nickels! But he had also allocated enough nickels to place and received a copy of Visual Studio 2005. I’d say this is probably one of the best (un)conferences I have attended thus far in my young career. I’m truly excited for the next one as it sounds like the event will take place on the East coast!

    Hi Mark,

    It was great seeing you out in the Mashup Camp and it was fun collecting and counting those nickels :-)
