SVNewTech – Tue Jul 7 – Micropayments, Data Visualization, and 3.5yr Recap

We will be Live Streaming tonight’s event once again, so if you didn’t make the RSVP list, you can tune in tonight.

7pm Live Stream -> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/svnewtech

Tonight should be interesting.  For the first half of the demos, you’ll see two companies that are doing very creative things in the micropayment space.  They both have services to help content creators (publishers, newspapers, bloggers, videobloggers, etc.) get small contributions from their large reader list and followers.

The second half of the demos will feature the hard work that a number of SVNewTech’rs put together for historical data on the past 3 1/2 years of svnewtech demos.  Diagramic will be presenting this in their data visulation tool, and I’ll spend a few minutes talking about how web companies have been evolving over the past few years.

Special thanks to the following group members
These two put in many hours of work to gather historical data on presenters.  This data will be published to the group after tonight’s meetup.

* Lakshmi Narayanan http://www.qalegion.com/
* Todd Miner who gets to achieve “total consciousness” caddyshack style

Also, thank you again to everybody that changed their RSVP last month to make for a better meetup experience.  They’ve been added to a special VIP list to gurantee acess to 2 months of meetups.
