Belfast-based tech start-up Shhmooze, founded just in April 2010, has been selected as one of the 20 finalists at the Mobile Premier Awards for the Mobile World Congress.
Shhmooze is a free location-based app that lets you use your smartphone to check into a conference or business event and broadcast your presence to other attendees. It is currently available on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and is coming soon to Android (hurry!) and Blackberry.
The next Facebook Developer Garage is on Wednesday February 9th in Gateway House, Dublin from 5pm-7pm. If you are interested in speaking, please contact web2ireland.editor@gmail.com
Some of the hot topics which we can expect to hear about include:
Facebook Places
Facebook Credits
Gaming
fCommerce
If you have interest in any aspect of where Facebook is going, you should attend. It is free but you must register over on Eventbrite.
The Gateway House venue at 133 Capel Street (top of Mary Street and just left) is very interesting too. It is the former tram station:
The aim of Gateway House is to provide a dynamic environment for established companies in the area of online activities. We will build clusters of like-minded people and initiatives who will build synergies with Gateway Ireland. Together we aim to be part of a movement to innovate and reinvigorate Ireland. A number of relevant companies have already committed to joining us in Gateway House.
Hope to see you there. If there is anything specific you’d like to hear about on the day, leave a comment below.
This is 7th in a series of audio interviews about Le Web 2010…
The aim is to examine the experience & value of Le Web 2010 from the point of view of those who went from Ireland.
Paul O'Mahony interviewed those who went to Le Web with Enterprise Ireland. The seventh person he interviewed was Ronan Skehill (who went with Ian Rice to Paris)
This is the first in a series of audio interviews, reflecting on the experience & value of Le Web 2010 from the point of view of those who went.
December 2010 was the first time Ireland went to Le Web in Paris. Not only was it the first year Ireland had a stand and national presence at the event in Paris – but Ireland was the first country ever to have its own stand there. Until Le Web 2010, a few Irish companies and individuals attended Le Web as separate entities.
This time is was different.
But was it worth it? What benefit was Le Web to Ireland & Irish business? Was it simply a lot of hype & buzz?
The time & money invested in Le Web – was it worth it?
Paul O’Mahony interviewed those who went to Le Web with Enterprise Ireland. The first person he interviewed was Karen Hallez, Enterprise Ireland, Paris
