The only interesting way to use the game & the ban you for it with no warning – stupid, stupid stupid.

You’ll end up wasting you time, and possibly lose any money. It’s probably just a Romanian scam to get your credit card in the end

Stay away at your peril. I’m now going out of my way to tell anyone who will listen about this highly suspect waste of time (and potentially money)

Cheers for your comment. The iPlatform’s core technology gives agencies and website owners a single, fixed API they integrate with their site. Our technology then converts this to the different social network APIs depending on where the user is. This allows us to iFrame in versions of the site into the different social networks, whilst allowing full use of the social network APIs in the different sites. Most agencies and sites don’t have the knowledge or capability to integrate their site with multiple social network platforms, all with different APIs, and then to constantly update these as the APIs change (which they do frequently). We solve this problem.

This system negates the downside of using the iFrame by still having all the API integration. And, by using the iFrame, a user from one social network – like Facebook – can interact with other users in the client site, even if they’re accessing it from other social networks like MySpace or Bebo, or on the separate website. For a niche community site this is much more compelling than having separate applications or groups in the different sites.

This was my first FOWA and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I suspect that some of the speakers, have decided to give away far fewer state secrets. But maybe it’s just because the more of these events you go to the less likely you are going to hear things that make you think, my goodness that’s an amazing idea/solution.

This year the highlight for me was probably Blaine Cook & Joe Stump on “Languages Don’t Scale” (I’m going to bookmark that video for every time that argument comes up). Great also to see tangible evidence on the adoption of OAuth and OpenID.

All of the presentations I saw were of a very high standard and some real stand outs including (imho) Alvin Woon, Tim Bray and Ben Huh. My only complaint would be the fact that about 75% of the presenters were from Silicon Valley – though I suppose this is just a reflection of the industry we are in.

As for the rest, I thought most ideas were average to pointless. Raffle.it was ok, but shows how even a good idea can be badly presented.

not impressed at all with those chosen. there was much better choices out there (IMO). hopefully next year the competition will be a bit better organised, and have a better choice of startups to pitch.

n next time it would be great if you guys could mail those people who entered but didn’t win to let them know. we were all in the dark till one of us asked what was happening.
