Under The Radar: Virtual Worker

Slide Rocket

Mitch

A no-compromise web slideware application. Flex Air UI, looks great.

Built an integration to Salesforce.com, pulls data,from SF, track viewing stats.

In private beta, deal with Weather Channel.

I vote yes.

The panelists rave.

These guys started the company two desks away from me t the Looksmart building,so I have seen the earliest versions.

Have offline player, will soon have offline editing.

TimeBridge

Uri

‘Scheduling Meetings is a pain.’ Yeah, but I don’t hink people will accept a standalone app. This is a feature. Sounds like Google is using the toolto fix a problem,so they are a candidate to be scooped into Google calendar.

Integrated conference call number provisioning and online meeting provisioning is the basis of monetization.

Publishing availability — something I pitched to someone last week — is a side effect.

25K users — fairly small.

TripIt

Greg Hardaway

Big mature market, but still good for start ups.

‘personal travel assistant’

Core value proposition is parsing email from travel services, like expedia and jetblue. builds a portfolio of all the travel data, and exports to calendar, and allows sharing. The new closeness alerts brings TripIt is bumping into Dopplr.

Will make money off the transactions, and they plan to make sharing better.

I love TripIt. I had to stop cascading TripIt’s calendar stream into Doplr, because they goof of start/end of cities. Now I have a master calendar on Google I feed to Dopplr, and I would like to do the same with TripIt, so can assert where I will be.

I vote yes.

Yoics

Virtualizing access to web devices. Interesting demo of web cam accessed via browser showing his backyard.

I vote no. Too many competitors in various features. Yet another file share app? Yet another remote desktop?

Also can take any folder and publish as a website. Yawn.
