RE: Office 2.0 and the Implosion of Lehman, AIG ... and the Enterprise Buyer

I think you're spot on with with office 2.0 hopes being set on the small-business market. All these layoffs, although bad, often times create tremendous amounts of entrepreneurial momentum as people leaving companies start their own. This is particularly true for larger organizations as they will often provide severance packages that create the seed money needed to start a small business or partnership. A business that was previously just a thought, now has the opportunity to take shape. When you take a careful look at software as a service (SAAS) and office 2.0 you quickly realize the tremendous opportunity for the small-business owner and entrepreneur. Although these tools aren't yet as robust as full-blown ERP systems or enterprise equivalents, they provide a very cost effective starting point for any emerging business. The economy as a whole is going to feel the crunch but it is the cyclical nature of the market. I look forward to seeing what office 2.0 brings to small businesses in the years ahead.

Thank you all for very interesting discussion.

I'm very much interested in the topics.

Ismael -

Again sorry I couldn't make it this year, and sorry for the short notice on speaking. Looks like you had another fabulous event this year. Great job!

I love the timing next year - this works out much better for those of us with kids starting school in early September, and also planning to run an ultramarathon (http://www.uppermidwesttrailrunners.com/superior/fall/)! I'm looking forward to it.

My company should be on your target list next year, but either way I will be putting my name in the hat again to speak. Talk soon.

Scott

Antoine,

I really like this application, but we need a solution that can work with any smart phone.

You could have a look at snappr.net, they seem to have a quite cool and clean service.

Hey Ismael,

There is the shake solution too:

The coolest feature without a doubt is the new "Handshake": put two iPhones running Friend Book together, shake them up and down, and the personal contact information of the phones' owners will be beamed through the net to the paired phones. Handshake doesn't work through a device-to-device connection, but instead passes location data back to Tapulous' servers — two shaking phones in the same location means it's time to swap information.

I recommend the NeoReader for all of your mobile barcode needs.

Doron,

Thanks for sharing this story. I think we're talking about a very similar system.

Best regards

Hi,

Well, I don't have a name of a company or service, but I have another direction you can explore.

I recall reading a few years back about theme parks who gave visitor an id tag that contains something like a barcode, but not a traditional one, but a mix of colors, or something like that. Then, photographers took pictures of the visitors, and if you wanted to buy the pictures, they scanned that id tag, and then search for it in all the photos to find if they took your pictures as well. I think it will give you the same result.

Another option would be to use Google face recognition inside Picasa, but they don't support anything beside taging pictures, and you'll have to teach the system who is who, and make sure they are identified correctly. But it would probably work in a year or two.

Good luck,

-Doron
