Wow, we had a great time at the Denver Museum of Art on Friday night. We projected a Brightkite Satellite screen on a wall and watched people stop and interact with it while they were walking to and from other exhibits. We posted different questions throughout the night to get responses from people (i.e. “what’s your favorite nighttime spot in Denver?”, “what’s your favorite quote?” and even “what was the best day of your life?”). Several people stayed for a while and sent in many different messages. People really understood the concept of “checking in” at a physical location. We explained that the website would show their exact location on a map and that it would let them see every message that was posted from this location. (A concept we call Placestreaming or Placecasting).
We’ll be back at the museum next month so if you’re in the Denver area be sure to stop by the next Untitled event. Over the next couple weeks we’ll be doing this at a couple different events. We’ll write about them as they happen. In the meantime take a look at some of the pictures from the event. And keep reading below for some exciting news.
Here I am getting feedback from people using the service.
The interior architecture of the museum is just as impressive as the exterior.
In other news we’re happy to announce that we’ve hired the lead developer from Socialthing! We’re very lucky to have him as part of our team but he’s twice as lucky to be on ours. Brady, one of our founders, had to negotiate with Ben for a while to make it happen. Take a look at the pictures below. Ben is a fierce negotiator. He kept holding out for a company car and a 4-10 workweek. Brady worked his magic though and Ben eventually settled for no pay as well as a no say whatsoever on product direction decisions.
Welcome aboard Ben!…… 
Brady locks in the deal… sweet!
Update: We were obviously joking about Ben. He’s got plenty of work over at socialthing!
Ben as the logo representative on your socialthing business card and website, i think you’ve undersold yourself. I thought we had sharpened your business prowess to enough of a point that you would not entertain, let alone agree to, less than ideal terms.
But we still love you
