- Arrington and Calacanis just showed us how entrepreneurs should be treated and encouraged. Bravo. Maybe they should have treated DEMO with that same respect?
Apple’sBumpTop – pile oriented desktop. Sure, let’s take our horrible real world desktop metaphor and map it to a computer just because we can. Oh, and I’m never going to use a pen based O/S. Sorry.- Frank Gruber (of Somewhat Frank) just stuck Lijit’s personal network search wijit on his blog too. Techstars has one now as well that lets you search across all the mentors personal networks at once. So Lijit!
- Those Orchestr8 guys are quick. I just wrote about the need for a graphical UI for their tools, and they cranked it out in a couple of days (video of the AlchemyPoint graphical UI here). Nice work Elliot!

The Arrington and Calacanis thing (TechCrunch20 Conference) gave me an idea. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a Digg + YouTube kind of thing just for startups where a startup could post a demo video and people could vote it up or down?
I’m not sure where you got the idea that the pile-oriented desktop was from Apple. The company behind this user interface is Canadian and not affiliated with Apple at all as far as I can tell. In fact, Slashdot seems to suggest that the UI is available for Windows only.
david – yes, very cool. want to build it?
michael – thanks, corrected.
David,
I’d love to build it, but it’ll have to go on the bottom my long “To Do” list. I’m currently neck deep creating a protoype and business plan, along with my wife (the boss and the brains), for an idea that we’re trying to develop. 😀
