I recently attended the WTIA Fast Pitch Forum & Technology Showcase. The conference featured two dozen of the hottest technology companies in Washington presenting their business in a competition for “Best In Show”. Daptiv provides on-demands work management solutions that adapt to your business, so you can work how you work.

Daptiv thinks there’s a better way to work. You have things you need to do. They feel that things like managing servers, installing software and planning upgrades are things they should take care of for you. Their solution for managing projects includes a collaboration environment to make it easier to work with the tools you already know and trust.

Daptiv also allows you to easily extend the standard capabilities of their software. Their secure web environment adapts to the management needs of any department within your company, and allows for point-and-click creation of forms and reports.

When this video was published and embedded in another blog, this comment was posted (from a competitor, Serena):

Poor Jeff–he looks to have aged 10 years since the ongoing financial troubles and RIFs at Daptiv began. Very interesting that he’s still claiming the leaders quadrant for Daptiv (they were dropped from it for 2009). Also interesting is his statement that CA Clarity and HP are Daptiv’s main competition. I wouldn’t have positioned Daptiv on the same strata as these pricey platinum PPM vendors. Also, from what I’ve seen of the new Agile offering, it appears to be a nice add-on to the Daptiv PM product, but a lousy stand-alone offering, considering the robust solutions already in that space. It will be interesting to see how they position it.

I recently attended the WTIA Fast Pitch Forum & Technology Showcase. The conference featured two dozen of the hottest technology companies in Washington presenting their business in a competition for “Best In Show”. BuddyTV’s goal is to bring entertainment and content closer to fans. We do this by building communities around popular TV shows and movies. Fans are able to learn more about their favorite shows through interviews, news features, and by connecting with other fans.

Star Points are earned by users when they help build the BuddyTV community. Users with more Star Points gain recognition and privileges that other members don’t receive. Users earn Star Points for things like playing games and quizzes, creating quizzes of their own, adding favorites to their profile, inviting others to join, and reading articles on the site.

Users can buy virtual gifts for their friends using their Star Points, or use them to bid in real auctions. The virtual gifts cost 1,000 Star Points, and the auctions depend on the bid placed before.

BuddyTV is fast becoming one of the largest entertainment destinations on the Web today. Don’t miss out on all you can do, and the fun you can have, on BuddyTV.

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
