New Comm Biz

I’ll blog more in detail on some expanded thoughts but I thought I would give some quick highlights from the first day:

Tabblo: I haven’t heard Antonio Rodriguez, the founder of Tabblo speak before (Tabblo was acquired by HP six months ago). I was much more impressed with his product after seeing him talk about it than I had been.

Reed Hastings: Reed sat down next to me at lunch. He was very engaging and very curious. He asked most of us what are favorite sessions were so far. He was really interested in learning what was going on. It was only after talking to him for a few minutes that I asked: q: “Who do you work for” a: “Netfix.” More idle conversation, q:”So what do you do for Netflix” a: “I’m the CEO.” I was impressed to see a CEO of such a well recognized company attending a conference like this and really looking for the next new thing.

iQuestions: iQuestions is a company that I worked with almost two years ago. Back then they were just in the early stages. They have a really interesting site that gives you video responses to your questions. All of the questions are around selfhelp topics, but they are looking at other verticals and white label opportunities as well. It was really exciting for me to see a company from Boise there at the Web 2.0 summit. They were there as a sponsor/exibitor.
