'What's App' panel: Understanding the world of mobile & apps

Sue Ko, AppMakr's product manager and I did a panel in front of a 500 person audience over two days at the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association's annual conference in San Diego, CA.

The panel was titled "What's App" and the session description was: "Innovation will keep your company moving into the future. Recently, a Wall Street executive said that if you're not in the app business, get into it. Apps are the wave of the future both for operational efficiency and customer engagement. Learn more about apps for telecommunications and see live examples of apps that rural telcos have implemented."

Our session was followed by Chris Michalopoulos, marketing director at Whidbey Telecom, showing how he helped transform a traditional Telecom experience into an Apple store-esque experience.

Sick co-working space in SF: StartupHQ

Last July I visited a new startup hacker space called "StartupHouse" and I wrote a post up about it because I thought it looked really promising.

My, how things can happen in the span of 9 months.  It's been re-named "StartupHQ," with StartupHouse becoming the hacker hostel next door (bunk beds or regular beds, cost around $30 to $50/night.) StartupHQ is not just promising -- it's looks amazing for small startups and for events (max 150 people, they say).

Here's what the space StartupHQ looked like when I saw it originally:

Here's the exact same space today:
