Yesterday's Web Monday Zurich

Yesterday's Web Monday Zurich

By Amazee Labs 4th Mai 2010 Events

Yesterday the 14th Web Monday took place. IBM was our host and really spoiled us with a great location and apero, thanks a lot to Sid and his team!

We had a great variety of speakers:

Siddhartha Arora, our host, presented IBM's Global Entrepreneur Initiative, which aims to help start-ups capture new business opportunities. Under this new program, IBM provides access to its research community, sales, marketing and technical skills. We were the first to hear about this initiative in Switzerland, as the IBM Switzerland marketing machinery hasn't started communicated the initiative yet. Interested startups can already apply here.

Amir Suissa presented his brand-new start-up DeinDeal, which has been launched a couple of weeks ago. DeinDeal is a group buying website that offers a daily coupon for the best deals in your town with savings of up to 70% on restaurants, wellness, beauty, sports and culture. Amir told us in more detail what DeinDeal is and clarified that it is just another copycat of the highly successful GroupOn model from the US. Copycat or not - we wish them lots of success!

Till Quack from Kooaba held a very interesting presentation on the history and future of visual search and presented two tools in more detail: Paperboy and ShootingStar. These help you explore, share and remember things you see by recognizing your snapshots.Last but not least Mark Melnykowycz presented his art work: in his group "Web Portraits Zurich" he creates cool images and portraits of the people involved in the web and startup scene around Zurich and Switzerland. Here some impressions! Join the group if you want to be one of the next models!

Thanks to everybody for contributing to the 14th Web Monday Zurich and stay tuned for more: the next Web Monday Zurich will take place on 28 June 2010. RSVP here!

    @Daniel:

    I am sorry but I never have used Statuses. I can confirm moist of your steps. But you don't need to clone your original view. You have to duplicate it. (I assume that your original view is not a page)

    In my example above i have a View-Pane. And the autorefresh part is a page. So I had to built the whole view as a page again so i can give it a path.

    I hope this was helpful. If not, please feel free to contact me via E-Mail or Skype.

    Well I have a different issue. Basically I want to write a general standalone script that parses different SVG files and makes some changes(permanent ones). It has nothing to do with the web. How do I go about it??

    We are beginning to use Drupal as a platform for clients and this was a great article to come across to kick start my learning. I have my own check list of modules to include that were mostly covered in this article however, I now have some thoughts on what am I missing since there were several here that I did not previously consider. Thanks for the enriching and thought provoking info!
