Dallas DemoCamp2

April 23, 2007

DemoCampDallas2 started out with a bang with Adam Keys serving as host? What is DemoCamp? DemoCamp is a variation of the un-conference style of event, started by the TorCamp group as an excuse to have more regular meetings. The idea is simple, just demo your application, no powerpoint slides, no marketing fluff, no exit strategy discussion, nothing but the application. Just Demo It! Check out the Flickrstream of the event here. Demos included:

  • Joyomi - Bill Burcham
  • Daytripr - Christopher St. John
  • DreamCars - Curtis Garrison
  • Podcast Pickle - Gary Leland
  • iNearby - Jim Young, Kinan Sweidan
  • Viewzi - Brandon Cotter

Bill Burcham started out the demo’s with Joyomi, a web application that helps you keep track of who owes you stuff. Ug, I hope he doesn’t use it on me… The last thing I need is a tool for people to use to hold me to my agreements.

 

Christopher St. John demo’ed Daytripr, a web application to help plan his day trips. The idea is to plan, take and share daytrips. Seems cool, but I would call it roadtripr instead. The most interesting application is relative to travels on the country’s highways and byways. Fun little application.

Curtis Garison demo’ed DreamCars.com a community auction website for classic cars. The is site is very early in development, but could be thought of as a Zillow for cars. You could claim your dream car and add photos and other information creating a permanent page for a particular car that might be transferred with the ownership of the car.

Gary Leland demo’ed Podcast Pickle. Neat podcast and videocast community. Great PayPal, Amazon, ebay and Flickr integration.

iNearby was demo’ed by Kinan Sweidan and Jim Young. The application applies location and group filtering for applications like Twitter. Twitter is too noisey, but with iNearby you can use your exisitng devices to login into a backchannel at events or venues you are attending.

Brandon Cotter demo’ed Viewzi.  Very cool.  New search tool that allows user to create ‘views’ of a particular topic.  Think Wikipedia for search with multimedia integration.  Very, very cool idea.
