Rubicon CEO Frank Addante, fresh off of closing on $21 million in financing has technical problems. Oh well.
Still, this is interesting. Who is showing advertisers where the available real estate is on the Web? Who is connecting them to the ad networks? And who is helping the small publishers monetize their site.
Their login looks awfully like the Seesmic login. The site has a slick dashboard for publishers. This could bring some sense to online advertising for small publishers / bloggers.
ShareThis - presumption (too) many ways to share. He’s pointing out the buttons at the bottom of everyone’s post. So which are going to be useful, which ones do users care about and which matter? ShareThis offers one button allowing you to send interesting items through any social network or service. Also offers analytics. Very slick and something that’s actually useful.
coComment - Better conversations on the Web clearly does not lead to interesting presentations at OnMedia.
boxbe - Animated penises (penii?) in your presentation???? Jeeze. Way to know your audience folks.
PageFlakes - I’ve seen these guys before. They are calling it a ‘web life aggregator’ which sounds about right. I liked it when I first saw it and I like it now. There’s a great deal of functionality. And they are making it easy for people to create web sites. I like.
Grouptivity - 88% of all consumers (jeeze, that word) use email to share content. Probably includes the family members who send me the joke of the day. Otherwise I can’t figure out what these guys do.
A brief rant if you will permit me… why don’t CEO’s have someone who sets up their laptop to show the presentation without having to show us everything on their desktop? And having to search through file folders for their presentation? Or can’t these people figure out how to use their computers?
Another rant.. why does everyone have to start by complaining of ‘too much information?’ Can we truly ever have too much information?
“we’re looking to partner with innovative companies…”
Just for the record, is anyone looking to partner with non-innovative companies?
“the content people want the world to act like TV”
