By mesh news, meshTV

Hey everyone my name is Mark McKay. I won the video prize last year at Mesh and made a bunch of videos for the guys highlighting all the great things that happened at the conference.This year I’m back and I’ll be at Mesh and MeshU creating something we’re calling MeshTV. I’m working with mDialog, and really awesome high-rez video hosting service, and together we’ll be bring you the best moments from the keynotes, workshops and all the debates and insights that make Mesh such an awesome event.

You’ll be able to watch MeshTV on your computer, iPod, and right here on the Mesh blog. You can even subscribe to MeshTV on iTunes!We’re going to be shooting all day every day and posting stuff to mDialog right away. But we want you guys involved too. Since Mesh is all about social media we want you to upload your videos and share them with everyone else at the conference. Maybe there’s something we missed, or you have an opinion about something that you saw, or maybe you have something you want to share with everyone? If you do, upload it to mDialog.To kick off the MeshTV channel, here’s the highlight reel from the recent mesh meetup at the Irish Embassy. We’ll have more for you on Tuesday, see you at Mesh!

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.
