Microsoft Surface

I really liked the Microsoft surface when I first tried it years ago. But now with the iPhone it seems like something of the museum of ancient computing. Today Microsoft Labs showed it again and I didn't like it. The surface is rough and the interface ackward. The possibilies very limited. I hope that Microsoft will develop this further but have my doubts...

Sweet iPhone app: exposure

While I was sitting in the lobby of hotel Rex I tried my new iPhone app: Exposure which connects flickr with your iPhone. A nice feature is: photo's of your location which uses the GPS part of the iPhone to find flickr pictures of the area where you are at that moment. Funny enough the first picture that pop-uped was the one of the chair in which I was sitting.... :-)

We went to Mountain View to have a meeting with Vlane a car website quite similar as zomoto.nl. The guys from vlane and we shared our vision on the automotive internet market and it was funny to discover that their company is called mozomoto inc. (which is  mo zomoto...) :-)
Their concept is based about car owner discussions. After being in beta for more then over a year they expect to go live any moment. It is nice to know that we have far more visitors and revenue then vlane does. We must be doign somethings right.
