The Future of Web Apps Summit

August 16th, 2006

If you’re going to be down in the Bay Area on September 13th or 14th, grab yourself a ticket to the Carson Workshops “Future of Web Apps” Summit and come discuss what changes are in store for the web applications and services of tomorrow.

I’ll be the lone idiot on the bill, surrounded by the likes of The Crunchmaster, The Diggmaster, The FlickrMastr and several others.

I’m extremely psyched about this particular conference not only for its interesting and relevant subject matter, but also because it’s the first conference in about a year where I haven’t drawn “the hangover slot”… or, the first session of the morning. My session will be between 5pm and 5:45pm on September 13th and we’ll be talking about user-driven content. Particularly, what about it is working, what about it isn’t working, and what the current state of things can teach us about where the whole movement is going. It’s also the last session of the day so after it’s over, we can all walk over to a bar and user-generate some drinks. We can even use the wisdom of the crowds to decide what to order. Should be fun!

Like this entry? You probably shouldn't follow me on Twitter here. I recommend the RSS feed instead.

Any chance of a podcast on this topic or a transcript later?

If they do this again in London, you can go to that one too. There are some good pubs there…

I’m really looking forward to this as well, not only because I’ll be awake to see you speak…ha…but the whole event seems really interesting. This is onne where I’m planning to try and catch everything.

I’ll be there. Where’s the party at?

Sean Madden says:

Well, since we’re down in the Marina the party will resemble a frat party with plenty of Marina Girls.

I’m sure if we spit mad markup at them they’ll come home with us.

Just remember: API. User-generated extensions for user-generated content. API.

Newsvine is beautiful.

I’m going down too. See ya there.

Bryan Veloso says:

Well, San Fran is only an hour away from me. But I don’t have money… so I’ll wait outside for you guys to finish up. Then I can take you around in my p.o.s. RX.

Everything is out west. :(

I’m stuck here in Miami. :P

I feel for you Rick, I was in Orlando until recently. Sucks!

Mike, thanks for the heads up on this one. I would really love to hear what all of these guys, including you, have to talk about. Since this is only an hour (40 minutes with my driving) away from me I can maybe even make it to this one.

Kind of sucks that this has to be in the middle of the week instead of on a weekend though. I am working a contract now so instead of $295 it would cost me over a grand. :-(

If I can work something out I’ll see you there. Maybe I can swing by after and wait with Bryan by his p.o.s. RX. I’ll have my p.o.s. Cherokee :-)

Dude, i’m there… about these drinks anyone up for forcefeeding the “Digg Master” some JÃ¤germeister (bit of a diggnation joke sorry) ?

Seriously, this is my first conference – are these things friendly and a decent place for finding new people who are similarly geeky, or do people pretty much keep themselves to themselves ?

The team from Park Interactive will be there to rub elbows with all of our gurus. It’s sporting of Mike to plan the Wednesday night event. Who’s got Thursday?

Ryan Sonnenberg says:

Figures that all of the cool events, expos and other interesting tech/design related stuff I’d love to participate in always seems to take place on the complete opposite side of the country from me. Whatever, one day I’ll be privilaged to walk the same halls as my idols such as Mikey D. here.

My work is sending me and two others. Looking forward to it.

Can’t wait to here what you have to say about UGC. I’m also looking forward to those beers afterwards.

Hundreds of headlines wash over us every day. And part of why many of us engage in this flow is because we have faith that over time, this torrent of episodic knowledge is going to cohere into something more significant: a framework for genuinely understanding an issue. And we live with it ’cause it sort of works. Eventually you hear enough buzzwords like “single-payer” and “public option” and you start to feel like you can play along.

But mounting evidence indicates that this approach to information is actually totally debilitating. Faced with a flood of headlines on an ever-increasing variety of topics, we shut off. We turn to news that doesn’t require much understanding – crime, traffic, weather – or we turn off the news altogether.

- Matt Thompson on why the way we report and consume news is precisely wrong. Matt is, of course, precisely right. If you’re at SXSW next week, I don’t know how you could justify missing this talk.

Cameron’s Colosseo letterpress poster is now available: The only question is, black or white? The black is oh so tempting!

Jon Stewart Skewers Media’s Obsession with Chat Roulette: Funniest Wii Craps reference ever, as well. It’s really interesting to me that Chat Roulette is getting this much “attention” when TinyChat has been around so much longer, essentially does the same thing and more, and is much more useful to the average person. Just goes to show how viral public sex acts can be.

"Add features and customers forever and rake in the dough.":

The 2005 email that spawned Picnik, Google’s latest buy. If you’re thinking about launching a startup, you should study this e-mail carefully. It’s a perfect example of exactly how a crazy little thought becomes a big idea, and even on its own, it’s better than most “official company business plans” people present to VCs. I gave a talk at Webstock in New Zealand a couple of weeks ago about creating a startup and I wish I had this to dissect at the time. Really good stuff.

50 Useful Coding Techniques (CSS Layouts, Visual Effects and Forms):

Tumblr Finally Rolls Out Comments. Sort Of. Trolls Not Welcome. :

I actually really like how clubby it is. Unfortunately it means I won’t be commenting on any Tumblrs since I don’t officially “follow” anyone besides via RSS, but that’s probably ok. Maybe the answer to the world’s wide-open commenting problem is something like this.

Episode 2 of Dan Benjamin's "The Conversation" is Live:

I was a guest on Dan Benjamin’s new weekly radio show last week, along with Merlin Mann, Christina Warren, Adam Keys, and Dave Nanian. Subjects discussed include Newsvine, keeping your own identity after becoming part of a big company, and the RADICAL concept of only publishing stuff to your readers and followers that is actually true.

LESS - Leaner CSS:

Given that pre-compiling CSS is an official “best practice” these days, why not use that compile step to extend CSS in powerful ways? LESS lets you use variables, nested rules, and other niceties at author-time to clean up your rules and keep everything tidy. I believe The Wolf made something like this a few years ago, but I haven’t heard about it since.

How 3D works, and why it's back:

Great article on the ins and outs of three dimensional imagery. Still doesn’t change my opinion that well-shot conventional cinematography is more impressive than the novelty that is Avatar.

The Importance of Removing Features:

This is one of the most useful articles I’ve read in a long time. As we work on focusing, strengthening, and simplifying Newsvine, the concepts discussed by Lukas ring true. “Saying no” has never been a strong suit of mine. It’s very helpful to remember how important of a quality it is. (via fullstopinteractive)

Newly released video of the space shuttle Challenger disaster: It was 24 years ago, I was in 5th grade, but I remember it like it was yesterday. School was stopped immediately and they wheeled out televisions in every classroom for us to watch the news footage. It’s great that this video has been released, but holy crap, how do you tuck something that away for two decades???

A nicely done british parody of 60 Minutes style video journalism. It’s easy to miss how formulaic our news is sometimes. (via B-Tizzle, originally via E-Chizzle)

Colosseo: This is why Cameron is a king and we are all just pawns in his world. I can’t wait to get my hands on this poster. I will point out, however, that the outro credits on the video need some kerning. Someone is going to lose their right hand for that.

Spezify:

New ways of searching are almost never as useful as old ways of searching. Spezify is pretty awesome though. It’s a visually interesting, never-ending, horizontally and vertically scrollable, topic explorer. I don’t think I’d use it for digging deep on anything, but to get a quick visually rich sampling of a topic, it’s quite fun (via tiff, a long time ago actually, over email).

Realism in UI Design:

Reminds me of my favorite logo design advice: “Never waste a stroke”. (via gruber)

At the first Doughty show of the night at the Triple Door. If you're in Seattle you should come down for the 2nd at 10. Excellent!
