Thoughts inspiring. Inspiring thoughts
Here is the second installation of the startup pitches of Unconference 2008. I had covered the Keynote address and the first 5 startups. Here is the rest of the startup pitches:
Podfire.sg is by a good friend of mine, Michael Cheng. The tagline:
Singapore’s Premier Video Podcast Network
In as little word as possible, Podfire.sg is a production house for video podcast. It also offers turnkey video podcast solution for corporates. The site came about because Michael notice a shortage of well produced pan-asian content. Hence the production house concept where producers can create content and have Podfire.sg services to handle the post production. Hope I did not get this wrong.
Currently under podfire.sg, there are The Geek Goddess Show, Small Girl. Big Appetite! and It’s a Dog’s Life.
Also, he is always looking for content ideas!
Zopim.com is a interactive communication platform for online business and organisation. The service aims to increase the level of interaction in the websites between visitors and site owners.
In addition, ZopIm can integrate a profiling feature that tracks customer’s behaviour on the site. For example which search term the user had entered and which pages the user have visited.
The presentation also showed qisahn.com as a client of zopim.com. Get cheap gaming consoles and games from qisahn.com
Sam Wong presented for Qweki. It is essentially a search engine that allows the end user to influence the search results. Maybe influence was not the correct word. The end user can improve the search results with their input. It is also a unique search for content integration, a term which I do not comprehen.
Patsnap.com is a patent search engine. A very good concept from what I know. For those who had ever read a patent document, the words are almost painful to read and understand. And more often than not, the wordings in the patent does not reflect the actual end product, as least directly. Patsnap aims to make patent search easier by relating the common search terms to the actual patent documents.
I am impressed by the idea and the implementation of the concept was pretty well done. And for those who never read a patent document before, go ahead and read one. Try checking out the vuestar patents for a start!
Side note: Patsnap sites appears to be sitting on CakePHP.
Hibenater is a interesting service. It simply take a snapshot of the current work and work space and store in online. The user can shutdown the system, on the someplace, sometime else and restore the previous working snapshot, all from a desktop exe. It cuts down on the overhead of copying files into a thumbdrive or storing via email. And it is configurable.
That sums up the startup pitches for unconference 2008. Take a second look at the startups over at youngupstarts.com
ThinkingNectar talks about the interest of Chin Yong, a PHP/Python/Web developer residing in Singapore. Life, society, and codes should entails most of what goes between the ears of this coffee drinker.
