Live From The Next Web (2008)

If you couldn’t make it to Amsterdam, Mike Butcher is live blogging the Next Web conference on TechCrunch UK. Read his individual posts on How to Deal With VCs (Adeo Ressi), the first batch of startup demos (CoComment, eBuddy, Fav.or.it, Wuaw, Introniche, Empressr), Open Widgets (Khris Loux), and Lookery’s play for European social networking ads. Or you can watch a live stream of the entire conference here (in Silverlight) or here (Windows only).

Update: Click on more below and see the live stream here in Silverlight. Right now Scott Rafer (founder of MyBlogLog and Lookery) is interviewing Kevin Rose of Digg. He says he is working on a recommendation system for Digg that will show you Diggs from other people who Digg items similar to what you Digg that should be out this summer. That could be huge. Also, on the difference between Twitter and Pownce: “Pownce is an amazing platform for sharing media with your friends and having a conversation around that media.” (TechCrunch UK has a complete write-up of the Rafer-Rose Q&A).

Update 2: Now up: Leah Culver, Nova Spivack, and demos from Netlog, Webnode, Lookery, Zilok, Radionomy, and Wakoopa.

Update 3: An episode of Diggnation will be streamed live here, starting at 11:50 AM ET. Make that 12:30 PM ET. This thing is starting now.

Update 3: Show’s over. We’ll be streaming the rest of the conference tomorrow.

    the ‘next’ web, streaming in windows restricted format only????? LOL and ROFL.

    I had nothing to do with choosing the streaming technology, I am only presenting it here for your consumption. :)

    At least you can see the Silverlight on a Mac

  9. Viraj

    April 3rd, 2008 at 5:28 am

    Yeah, the feed isn’t Windows only, I am (or rather was) watching it from an Apple (just need to download Silverlight), might want to correct that.

    BE SURE TO LET US KNOW WHEN KEVIN ROSE SNEEZES!! IM SURE TECH CRUNCH WILL BE THERE TO WIPE HIS NOSE…

  12. Mike Butcher

    Jason - I can confirm - exclusively - that Kevin didn’t sneeze during his talk, but rest assured you’ll be the first to know when he does.

    What’s with all the crap names?

    Netlog, Webnode, Lookery, Zilok, Radionomy, and Wakoopa.

    It would have been more accurate to identify the stream as a Windows Media stream than to scare people off by saying “Windows only.” Surely you can watch wmv streams on a Mac - and people are probably more likely to have something with which to watch wmv than Silverlight installed on their system.

    @Jason and @Mike Butcher: I actually followed Kevin to the mens room where I was able to wipe… Oh forget it.

    Here is the other stream (you should be able to see it with a Flip4Mac plug in, but I can’t on my Mac, nor can anyone else here at the conference with a Mac:

    This may be the worst live-stream I’ve ever seen. Continually cutting out, and very small. Why didn’t they just use a proven live-stream site? They’re free and easy. Just stupid….”NextWeb” my ass.

    go here for the big smooth stream - http://thenextweb.org/2008/04/.....deostream/

    people keep bumrushing the stage to pimp products and such

    Audio is extremely screwed up for me… has been for the past 20 minutes.

    Was a great stream for me, didn’t ever cut out and good video quality, I enjoyed watching part of the live diggnation (just finished).

    I hope they make recorded video available as well since I missed most of today.

    interesting stache.

    They used the same platform as NOS (dutch broadcasting company) will use during upcoming olympics. Streams was great for me. No hassle, no hick ups.

  37. Boris

    April 3rd, 2008 at 2:32 pm

    Oh, the only thing we stream now is music! New content in the morning. Another 9 hours from now…

    My name is Earl. And this is Val Kilmer. Maybe a Web 2.0 bubble wouldn’t be so bad. Might encourage people to bath. :)
