Beta Thea Pi Camp 2007
was successfully held on last Friday. The quality of the event including
the sessions, venue (same building, different floor) and the whole
process are better than last year. Nearly 150 people showed up during
the event.
I gave a talk on blogging which is the three of us are doing . I talked
about the background of this blog and a bunch of services that worth
mentioning based on audience request. Especially, I introduced those
that I actually use personally. If I have more time to prepare for the
talk, I would like to say something about how we break news, interview
founders, and make the decision if a service is worthy of reviewing. In
fact I haven’t decided to lead a session the day before the event. A big
thanks to Robert who encouraged me to give the talk. (Photos on
the left side are taken by Kris.)
Several sessions impressed me the most. Rachel gave a presentation
about user interface and multi touch devices. She finished some of the
work in Microsoft Research AL. The demos he showed us are pretty cool.
Diana introduced her Firefox extension, Mobilebrook, which helps remove
nearly all advertisement on web pages. Advertisers are going to hate
her. She has demoed the application both in Barcamp Beta Theta Pi and
EduCamp, which is appreciated and respected.
The day was ended by two excellent talks by Calvin and Alex
of Hakanobu. Why their talks are considered useful is because they are
not only focused on their own startups, but presented something useful
in general to the audience. I missed Vinnie’s talk about Web usability
because I was giving talk in another room. I just listened a tail of
Jeff’s talk about developing web2.0, but the whole topic is what I am
very interested in.
