Yesterday, I attended POPOUT at Suntec Convention Centre, Ballroom - organised by the passionate and energetic team from - The Digital Movement (TDM).
Titled, POPOUT! '07 - 'Emerging Web Startups', the event was a big effort to engage the community, students, technopreneur, venture capitalist and startups interested in the web 2.0 sphere.
The exciting sharing session include: Bezurk (Ross), demos by Quaffs (Eric), ZopIM (Low Junliang) and BookJetty (Herry) and Recruit.net (online jobs portal vertical search engine). There were also live blogging by TDM peeps (Live blogging on POPOUT )and Bernard Leong (see SG Entrepreneurs post).
Met up with TDM peeps - friendly Suyuen, and Ryan, and saw the lively emcee Estee, Wayne bouncing around and chatting with the crowd. You can find them on Facebook - TDM group on Facebook to participate in their latest events and happenings.
Others were also there for support and spotted among the crowd were MDA - Shannon Low, IDA personnels - Lucas, and e27 - Bjorn Lee and Justin Lee, among other NUS-NOC alumni peeps, and Mr Phey Teck Moh.
This event was also graced by the presence of Gen Kenai of Mozilla (Japan), who later commented about the enterpreneurial projects and applaud the lively presentations by all the teams.
Booths were set up - iJAM (MDA intiative that award grants for digital media related projects, up to 50K) and side demos include:
Momode.com (guests were given a blue tee :) ) - develops mobile apps
Comiqs.com
Tyler Projects - Mobileweapon.net
I chatted with the team who created Singapore's first Facebook MMOG - Battle Station, based on our popular game series, Mobile Weapon (www.mobileweapon.net).
Without a doubt, the crowd stealer was the founder and web development, Mr Herry Herryanto 'lone ranger' of BookJetty.com.
Cheers and loud applauses after Herry's presentation~! Indeed, admirable and very impressive efforts by the sole web developer to create the portal. Personally, the most useful feature was the sms book details, and live status of book availability from NLB. The portal also allows search from 500 libraries worldwide.
