It is with incredible pride (and about equal parts shock and bewilderment) that I report that Socialbomb is the winner of NYU Stern’s Business Plan Competition! Out of the initial 155 teams that entered, Adam Simon, Scott Varland, Mihir Dange and I took on the last three on April 25 at the competition finals [...]
Holy crap! Socialbomb’s on BoingBoing!
It’s a sweet piece, and it was mega-nice of all the BB folks to post it. The comments are actually shockingly intelligent too — seems like people kinda get what we’re going for, and that RULES.
Edit: And now Kotaku!!
So the ETech video coverage is starting to roll in, mostly talking about the brilliant discussions and presentations made by the likes of Yahoo!, Stamen, Matt Webb, Monochrom, the Make folks, etc. So, imagine our surprise when we saw THIS:
Hey! It’s us! And the live-action Socialbomb game at the ETech [...]
…and the prototyping continues. Given that I managed to scamper off to San Diego for a week and am woefully behind where my work plan says I should be, I’m spending this week in the lab —I really want to get a proper audio circuit set up.
Right now I’m working on getting some mic circuits [...]
So while I’ve bantered about the process of making the new SB 2.0 units and the things we’ve done with them, I haven’t given many nice images of them. So, let’s fix that:
Yay pretty pictures! The Documentation Station recently put up on the floor at ITP (a nice camera, a great lightbox, some [...]
So I was watching all these people run around the floor at ETech, and it was really fun to watch their interactions from a distance. Sometimes people were really excited to talk and share, sometimes they hid behind their laptops but seemed eager to start a conversation, and sometimes they busily ran from place to [...]
Here we are at day two, which finds me blogging when I should be listening. And so it goes.
Yesterday I caught a pile of great talks, starting with Stamen Design’s data visualization session, moving on to Tom Igoe’s Making Things Talk tutorial, and ending with Tim O’Reilly’s Radar.
We Socialbombers were also able to sneak into [...]
So here we are in San Diego. Adam, Scott and I got in late Saturday night, found our way to our hotel, and promptly went out in search of scotch. We found it! We then spent the past two days attempting to work on Socialbomb’s website, new leaderboard, and v2 prototype units. I say attempting [...]
Lesley, being awesome, went and posted all the videos from the Sculpting Voice show on der YouTube. You can check out my set with her below:

We Socialbomb folks (Adam, Scott and I) have been quite busy lately, making prototypes, writing proposals and presenting things at various places. So far, the latter point has mostly involved the Stern Business Plan Competition, which we are Semi-Finalists in (and still in the final running), but it’s about to lead us to San [...]
