Google App Engine
So Iv’e gotten a few minutes to mess around with the Google App Engine for Java. so far my thoughts are as thus:
it’s very cool but there is ALOT of room for improvement though
I like their free quota/billed model
I like how easy it is to build local and deploy via the eclipse plugin. the less I have to leave my unified IDE to build and deploy, the better.
the datastore is pretty...

Solid Web Dev Needed
Trying to scale my biz and I’m in need of some web dev support. I’m looking for a longer term, contract relationship with a solid developer who’s up to speed in the Web2.0 and social net space. Most of the work coming in entails some php, java, javascript/AJAX, etc and some regular ol’ SQL. no .NET nonsense. We’d be working closely together on projects and hopefully...

Gators of News
ok so I’ve been playing with Newsgator’s Editor’s Desk. Love it. Newsgator has yet again amazed me in their foresight and quality of execution. Newsgator has long been a leader in the RSS and information aggregation space and now their foray into the widget areana has proven that they still have their finger on the pulse of information and technology. We all want our content and...

Everybody's wacky for Widgets, and of course,...
Surprisingly enough, there were several conferences on the topics of social networks and widgets at CES. I attended the following: Widgets as a Platform: Content, Advertising, Communications Social Networks and User-Generated Media as a Technology Challenge: The Platform, the Content and the Network The Next Generation inf Mobile and Broadband Platforms: Social Networks, Widgets, Search,...

Don't be fooled, size IS everything
One thing to notice at CES is size. While the venue itself is massive that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the size of the products. Mobile devices are shrinking rapidly. TVs/display units are expanding in width (and shrinking in price) all the time. With the OLEDs beginning to enter the market, everything is getting thinner as well. With this means for the...

Mobile is a prong, not the entire pitchfork
Everyone has a mobile device of some sort these days. Be it a cell phone, crackberry, pda, navigation device, etc. The list is ever growing as we as consumers desire to consume everything, in every possible way, everywhere. Mobile is an interesting and only partially saturated area of the electronics market. Because it is still so new to so many consumers the potential of mobile devices is still...
Nothing new but that's not a bad thing
Nothing here at CES is anything that I haven’t seen before. There were no personal jet packs, x-ray vision goggles or pocket teleportation devices. This is only slightly disappointing however. What I DID see was an amazing VARIETY of vendors. All the things we’ve been buzzing about for quite some time now are here and they’re here en masse. There were TONS of TV/display...

Observations
After visiting almost every possible booth at CES I’ve noticed a couple key things. Nothing really new is coming up Home Integration is EVERYthing Mobile is not turning out to be all it’s cracked up to be… yet Size is driving everything. Smaller phones. Bigger TVs I’ll elaborate on each one of these points in separate posts. What they all indicate, however, is that the...

Wow
This audience in this social networking talk is rather behind us in terms of vision and understanding. It’s sort of funny to me since I think a lot of this stuff is a no brainer but to all these other ppl its big news. Is it just bc I’ve been so deep in this stuff for a while now? Hmmmm -CWD
Panel discussion: Social Networking & User...
In the panel right now. Interesting mix of panelists. They’re discussing how and why social networks exist and what makes them sustainable. Core conversation with user generated content built on top of it is key. More later… -CWD

Home is where the media is
The BIG theme here at CES, I’ve noticed, is home media and home integration/automation. Everyone and their electronic brother is pushing in to this space in a big way. And to tell you the truth, it’s about time. When I was at my former employer I worked closely with our AV vendor on world class video conferencing systems. We had Lutron lighting, Crestron touch screen control panels,...
Day 1 at CES
Day 1 was great. Andrew and I saw a ton of interesting product vendors and we sat in on a discussion about Disruptive Technologies. I also sat in on panel discussion about widgets as a platform. I’ll give a full report later with my notes from the talks and details on some of the interesting stuff we saw. Off to day 2! -CWD
