By 15MOF, mesh08 news

One of the things we try to do at mesh is put the spotlight on startups that are developing new and interesting services.

We do this through 15 Minutes of Fame, which sees each three companies on each day of mesh five minutes each on stage to talk about what their companies do and their strategy to become successful.

This year, we received a record number of 15MOF applicants, which made the selection process challenging. Without further ado, here are the 15MOF presenters:

May 21

Carbonetworks, which has developed software that helps companies create effective carbon emissions strategies to reduce costs and capitalize on emerging global markets.

GigPark, a place to receive recommendations about a wide variety of services from friends and their friends.

A mesh Contest: Win A Chumby!

By mesh news

Chumby
With mesh looming on the horizon, we’ve got a number of exciting wrinkles to unveil.

To start, we’ve got a good old fashioned contest for mesh attendees. PlanetEye (the travel planning startup where I work) is giving away a chumby.

All you have to do is register for PlanetEye at www.planeteye.com/mesh to be eligible. You can enter the contest now or wait until mesh where you’ll get more information in the swag bags. The winner will be announced on the PlanetEye blog after mesh.

So what’s a chumby?

It’s a compact device that displays information from the Web: news, photos, music, weather, celebrity gossip, sports scores — using a wireless Internet connection. You can personalize a chumby by adding small applications (aka widgets). The chumby caused a stir in our office when it arrived, everyone wanted to see the touchscreen and squeeze-based interface in action.
