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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

What do you do at ITP when you don’t like computers? Why, you write on windows, of course!

Got to attend MobileCampNYC for the first time this year (apparently a merging of MobileCamp and BarCamp), and had myself a BLAST. There are some brilliant, hilarious and slightly twisted minds in the mobile field in NYC, let me tell you.
Small picture sampling:
Full set, as [...]

…with a bit of a nod to Mouna, RSG and yours truly, amongst others. I’m highly flattered, and a bit confused, but really glad the festival’s getting the attention it deserves. It was an amazing time — by far the best festival I’ve been involved in, and likely the best I’ve even been [...]
