The Future of Web Apps London

By Darren Straight

Well it’s been a busy and crazy week but I’ve finally got some time to tell you all about my 3 Days in London attending The mashup* demo event and of course the awesome Future of Web Apps Conference and Expo which included the Live Filming of Episode 118 of Diggnation and the Carsonified Relaunch Party! :D

Unfortunately I didn’t have a laptop to do any Live Blog coverage like I would have liked to so instead I took what notes I could on paper and took plenty of photos along with a couple of videos.

Mashup* Demo Event - Day Before FOWA

First up let me tell you about the Mashup* Demo event, In running order the following companies demoed, yes they only had 5 minutes to demo, this made sure they got to the point of why we should try out their site/service/product etc and why investors should invest in them:

Cost Effective Website and Network Monitoring
IPCheck Server Monitor - Free Download

3.30pm - Serena Software
3.35pm - Mobestar
3.40pm - 15 Second TV
3.45pm - BabelTV
3.50pm - WeLoveLocal.com
3.55pm - Rummble
4.00pm - Magpie
4.05pm - Inspire
4.10pm - Bondaii
4.15pm - Meecard
4.20pm - Serena Software
4.25pm - Rollsense
4.30pm - Fav.or.it
4.35pm - Kwiqq
4.40pm - Tipped
4.45pm - testcard.tv

I have yet to test fully every site/service/product on this list; however I hope to do very soon. The venue it’s self was great and I had some interesting talks with people such as James Dyer (TestCard.Tv) and Dominik Grolimund, Co-Founder and CEO of Caleido who has created Wuala, which is a new way of storing, sharing, and publishing files on the internet.

I would however like to make some suggestions for improvements, mainly on the after party hosted by Blognation, as part of their UK Launch of Blognation. Me and a few others agreed that some music would have been nice to go along with that disco ball they Club had, along with some food/nibbles as it was dinner time by then…

Other than that it was pretty good, I’ll be sure to be checking out each and every site/service/product in more detail. By the way Richard Brooks (Managing Director of The 100 Year Website) where were you - someone said they talked to you but we couldn’t find you again - hope you had a good time and that my invite for you to come was worthwhile! ;)
