Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

I have seen a 13yr old demo a facebook app at the bay area facebook meetup.

Today I saw a 10yr old go on stage to demo an iphone app she built with her dad’s help at the Iphonedevcamp #ipdc3 at Yahoo with this weekend.

Inspired!!! Geeks and innovators inspire me. This is a blog about how such innovations take birth and this one just floored me.

CoTweet a twitter app born to help scale a facebook app

Does it sound strange that Kyle Sollenberger started a twitter app to help his facebook app?

That is a pattern I see where developers migrate from one app ecosystem to another focused on solving a problem for themselves. Earlier we heard a similar story from ChatterMonkey

Cotweet has used twitterville community to reach the early adopters of brands to help them build and scale their product.

Update: Co-tweet raised $1.1 yday. Also they are based out of Pennsylvania and are moving to silicon valley.

Connecting Facebook and Twitter With the Magic of Videos

Seesmic bought the twitter client twhirl and created Seesmic Desktop.

I was fascinated by Seesmic Desktop as they became the first to bring facebook connect integration to the desktop.

Seesmic CTO Johann Romefort talks about their vision to provide a seamless integration across multiple desktops and iphone. The key message I got here is they chose to build upon Twhirl and are focused on listening to users.

What inspires you?
