Hubbub 07, the latest conference from the great people at nuStart is set to begin in about an hour an a half.

Here goes another round second-degree live blogging for a conference halfway around the world =)

Check back often as we try to keep up with Hubbub =)

Backchannels are standard of course, over on Jaiku and Onelinr. Remember to check out HubbubLIVE for the latest coverage on the conference as it happens =)

Here’s a shot of the gang as things get ready

And.. it looks like things are underway!

Catch up with the live blogging crew, courtesy of Bertrand at Podesk, another familiar face at nuStart conferences

Looks like we’re looking at a little delay now.. nonetheless, while we’re all waiting, here’s a video of the interior of the conference hall at Nymble, courtesy of Podesk

Seems to have begun with David Haddad from Spontu
Apparently the Hubbub Onelinr backchannel is down at the moment.
Talk about privacy now.. Mahesh asks if you’d put up loads of information just because it was convenient to do so.
Mimi quotes that Facebook is the “new way to stalk”

Just found Lotta’s updates on Citizen Media Watch! Over here, for a write up on David Haddad’s presentation.

Quoting David via Lotta,

“Execute a killer product strategy, don’t plan a killer app”.

This pretty much reminds me of what Joe Armstrong said at Hej! 2007. He said a lot of new startups build something cool first and then wait for the money/users to roll in. But when that doesn’t happen, they go bust. According to Joe, “back in his day”, they planned their entire business strategy first, working out all the kinks, even before starting work on the product. This quote from David is pretty reminiscent of that.

mimi brings up real world game, PacManhattan, a version of Pac Man played on the street grid of downtown Manhattan.

2129 hrs:

Discussion here about which is more representative of a person’s online ’self’? His blog or his Facebook profile?

Seems that most of the respondents agree that the two things serve pretty different purposes. Facebook being more for fun and, (implicitly) blogs more for “serious” content

2136 hrs:

And the Onelinr backchannel is back!

2148 hrs:

More updates from Lotta on Citizen Media Watch — Niklas Tyllström from Greenhat presenting how his company brings gaming to the real world through mobile phones. Now this would probably relieve quite a bit of boredom on your way back home from work methinks. Might be great where you have more land, like, in say, Stockholm. But I wonder how such a concept might work in land scarce Singapore.

And another thread on the Jaiku backchannel discussing the funkiness of Japan’s mobile scene

Ramkumar’s blogging about Hubbub too.

What makes good/successful paid content? jocke claims that Aftonbladet plus is not a good example. (Did you hear that Lotta?) Check out the thread for more links by Anton on his blog.

One more liveblogger! Bernice is on location at Hubbub, and here are her thoughts on speaker Per Mosseby from Pixbox.com. Per asks why people don’t make use of mobile services more. Personally, I think it’s still because mobile bandwidth charges are still pretty high, at least over here in Singapore. Want to drive more innovation in the mobile arena? Make it accessible first! Well, of course, products like MoSync that help solve the issues in cross platform mobile development don’t hurt either =D

(Yes, I worked at Mobile Sorcery, the company that makes MoSync. So that is a shameless plug. Anyway, Patrick will speaker later too. Keep an eye out! =)

Nickeluli has found a way to get in on Hubbub even while not being physically there! Well done I say.. wish I had thought of that too!

Henrik Thomé from Sonetel is up next. Is IPv6 the way to go? Perhaps he’s suggesting that.

Which reminds me, check out this hilarious video about IPv6

The Day the Routers Died

A good question posed by Andreas Ehn.. which is growing faster? Bandwidth or storage? I’d have to say storage really. Manufacturers seem to be pushing the numbers on storage for consumer media much higher and much faster than they do for broadband. Perhaps they realise that bandwidth is the more(?) valuable resource in this age and are intent on milking the cash cow? But then again, that might just be from a consumer point of view and not the real state of the industry.2322 hrs:

Peter Sandberg is blogging at Hubbub too! Check out disruptive.nu (in Swedish) for updates. Here’s his post on Peter Arvai from Mobispine. Mobispine creates an RSS reader for your mobile phone though which, it seems, you can receive various user-contributed RSS feeds.

Hjalmar Winbladh from Rebtel speaking now to seemingly positive response.

2375 hrs:

Time for the Live Pitches now. Participants are being invited to go up on stage to give a short little one minute pitch of their idea. And there will be critics.

Sorosh Tavakoli is up too. I’m guessing he’s pitching VideoPlaza. And if you’d like to help VideoPlaza figure out their tagline, here’s the place to go.

Update: I guess we know what Sorosh was talking about then =D

0025 hrs:

Patrick Broman is up! To wild raves about his presentation =D

Seriously Patrick, C++? OpenGL?

Apparrently Patrick spoke about an super-ultra-secret project. I wonder what that might be about.

Here’s coverage by Peter Sandberg on disruptive.nu in Swedish. According to him, Patrick felt it might be harder to learn how to presenting PowerPoint, so Hubbub was treated to a presentation done entirely in C++.

Patrick is Mobile Sorcery’s in-house rock-star hacker and is equally at home with a guitar or a keyboard (of the qwerty variety).

0055 hrs:

And it looks like we’re done! Hubbub 07 is over!

A great big shout of congratulations to the nuStart team for making Hubbub happen!

Hope you guys have a great time at the afterparty. You guys deserve it =)
