First ‘real live’ demo of izimi
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007
Well, I’d love to say it went FANTASTICALY. I love to say that…
After 11 hours travel we bowled into the Nikko Hotel on Mason just off Union Square. A-list blogger Robert Scoble (of Scoble Show and Scobleizer fame) kindly picked us up from the airport and the three of us breezed through reception and up to the lounge on the 23rd floor.
Its always good to check out your internet connectivity when you’re demoing an internet product. Luckily we knew the Nikko had wireless from our last visit a few weeks ago. UNluckily it was so flakey this afternoon that we barely held a signal for more than about 30 seconds.
So, result, not a stunning demo of izimi first time out I’m sad to say. Even more so, since now we got a better connection we’re sitting here blowing ourselves away with how good izimi actually is. I’m just looking at some stunning pics of a boat manufacturer called “Wally” - I never knew they made boats like THAT!!!
Tomorrow AM we’re meeting Chris Nuttal of the FT, and with connectivity problems now sorted we’ll surely do it more justice tomorrow.
Thanks Robert for taking the time out of a very busy schedule to meet us. We’ll see you again VERY soon and really show you the money!!!
Dave & Marc
