Edmonton Demo Camp 6
Awesome event, I highly recommend everyone check out Bar Camp Edmonton and come to the next one in early May. The demos this time around were great, I particularly liked You vs. Me. While I think the guy running that site is a little lost as far as the direction he could move with it, I think he had some great ideas that might eventually find their way into Nexopia battles. Also of note: despite a lack of free wifi access, democamp attendees managed to get the tag #democampyeg into the #7 spot on Twitter’s trend list with their iphones and blackberries. It was very entertaining reading the running commentary of the event as it took place. I cast my vote in favour of ensuring open wifi access to the next democamp.

I don’t get You vs Me. What will keep people coming back? Maybe the presenter didn’t explain it will enough or something, but I personally wasn’t impressed.

I’m not sure that people will keep coming back. I wasn’t impressed with the demonstration or the vision. I was impressed with the idea though. Prior to Demo Camp we had already started implementing a battle system for use in the Nexopia blogs (where people already come back to socialize and interact with their friends). Seeing an implementation of that already done was neat because it instantly made me curious to vote on some of the polls. I was also intrigued with the possibilities of using it as a matching system, something I had not previously considered. I enjoyed it because it gave me a lot of things to think about related to what I am already doing.
