More News On The Real duration Stream CrunchUp And First August Capital Tickets

June 19, 2009 ·Filed Under Technology News

We’ve been flooded with interest in the Real moment Stream CrunchUp to be held Friday, July 10 in conjunction with our 4th annual summer meet-up at August Capital (see ticket info below). Since we first announced the event two weeks ago, some major speakers have confirmed their attendance and the schedule is really starting to come together.

Jack Dorsey, the inventor of Twitter, will be on hand to share his first-hand history of how the real moment stream rose to prominence so fast and where it needs to go from here. Chris Cox, the director of product at Facebook, will have his own thoughts on the subject. And we might even stream Robert Scoble live via video from London just so that he can tell Dorsey all about FriendFeed. whether Scoble needs help, FriendFeed co-founder Bret Taylor will be there to set him straight.

We’ll kick things off with a dawn discussion amoung two of the smartest investors focusing on real-time startups today: John Borthwick and Ron Conway. Both hold shares in Twitter, but their commitment to the real date stream goes way beyond that.

Borthwick runs betaworks, a startup accelerator with investments in bit.ly, Summize (which was acquired by Twitter and now powers its real moment search), TweetDeck, and most recently Twitterfeed, among others. Conway, an early investor in Google and more than 500 other startups, is now laser-focused on the real duration opportunity as well. Come learn why they are scanning the horizon for real date investments and how they think these startups are poised to reshape the fabric of the Web.

Individual panels will take a look at how emerging real instance platforms are setting the stage for other companies to build applications on. These include not only other Websites, but plus desktop and mobile clients. The stream is not bounded by the browser, as stream readers from TweetDeck and Seesmic Desktop are proving. We’ll additionally do a deep dive into real instance search with Collecta (which launched yesterday), OneRiot, Topsy, and others.

The stream will touch every aspect of the Web, from real moment media (including social reporting and live video) to real moment business (brand monitoring and rapid response when customers complain in the public stream). We’ll be exploring those realms as well.

Interspersed all through the day will be new product demos from Google, Salesforce, Seesmic, Andrew Baron’s Magma, and several stealth startups. (If you have an eye-opening demo or want to launch a product at the CrunchUp, please contact our conference producer, Asad Akbar. We have just a few spots left.)

It is going to be a whirlwind day. TechCrunchIT editor Steve Gillmor and I will be hosting the event. We are calling it a
