Mixin’ It Up In Lausanne With Mixin

Lausanne: Scoble said that Mixin was the coolest thing at LIFT this year:

[from The coolest thing at LIFT: MixIn]

Every year I find something cool at LIFT. Two years ago I was the first site to talk about CoComment, which now has a million users.

This time I got a demo and met the development team for MixIn, which is a social calendar that hooks to Twitter. On Qik I got a good demo.

Robert has a good eye. He and I are on the advisory board at b5 media, for example.

I am happy to say that I am an advisor to Mixin, and I am in Lausanne for the next few days working with the team on the product and marketing plans.

I met Nicolas Dengler a few years ago, and then last year, he called me up when I was in London on a trip, and asked if we could get together for a meeting: he had something to show me. Sure, I said.

The pitch was hypnotic, since he actually had quotes from my own blog posts and presentations to substantiate choices that he and the team had made in the design! My god, it was impossible to argue, since I would be arguing with myself, almost.

Anyway, I am happy to be working with the guys at Mixin, and happy that Scoble saw what I did: a very, very cool app.
