Slideshare is to presentations what Flickr is to photos.
Brilliant. Useful. Quick. Social. One button. Sharable. And, oh, so web 2.0!
The software, developed by the usual suspects at Uzanto, is actually in private beta: I have some invitation left I haven’t planned to use, so you might want to leave a comment under this picture to receive one.
This evening – after a 3+ hrs trip to Bergamo (while it usually takes no more that 45mins) – I enjoyed together with my colleagues Marco (who’s also my office pal) and Flavio Minsky’s conference as I previously blogged (Leeander was at the conference too but unfortunately we haven’t managed to meet).
Minsky is a genious. He can be defined as one of the inventors of Artifical Intelligence but – GOSH – he’s definitely crap at creating slides and managing them in a conference (back and forth, back and forth, back and forth…).
I’ve wrote down a mind map (warning mixed Italian + English inside) for my loyal readers.
I’m starting my autumn season for seminars next week, and I’d say that yours truly has been invited as a speaker to pretty interesting and high level seminars this year.
We’ll start on Monday 3 October with a so trendy Web 2.0 closed group seminar in Torino (yes, where we had Olimpic Games early this year) in a medieval castle. The stage should be pretty interesting based on what the organizers told me. But just the fact to talk about innovative technologies inside a castle is really amazing.
What am I gonna to talk about? Mobup my friends. And how we managed to have a multi-level mash-up between the phisical and the digital worlds.
On October 10th I’ll daily commute to Rome (Trenitalia PLEASE stay stick to your timetable!) for a talk at the Tor Vergata University organised uber-cool Interfacce06 Conference speaking about the international User Experience group I’m representing in Milan: UXnet.
This year I’m also actively participating as Regional Liason for the organization at a European level of the UPA organized World Usability Day 2006 acting as a link between all the european event organizers and the central comitee (pretty interesting job though). I’ll also have a small speech at the Milan WUD event at the Bicocca University with a UXnet based speech, again.
Tomorrow I’ll be in Bergamo to listen to a seminar by Marvin Minsky (Genious and MIT AI Lab founder) on emotional robots. I’m not speaking, but will be a nice chance to chat with some old friends in the innovation business.
