We’ve just released the great news that we’ve been selected for and are going to DEMO 2008 at the end of the month. Here is the press release. (Although, if you’ve been on the beta site you would probably have figured it out given the banner! We’re a bit rubbish at keeping secrets.) DEMO is an amazing technology product conference held in the US every year. They select about 70 companies out of around a 1,000 applicants to launch their products there. Great products like the Palm Pilot, Tivo and the Pleo have launched there. Also our friends at YuuGuu launched there last year and said they had an amazing time.

The format is that we get 6 minutes on stage to pitch our wares and then there is a pavillion session afterwards where you can do one-on-one demos. The 6 minute presentation gets posted to the web so any goof-ups will be recorded for posterity!

The team are still pinching themselves that it is really happening and are working flat out to make sure every thing goes smoothly. Additionally, to coincide with DEMO we will be taking the site into public beta on the 28th of January.

I’ll let you know how we get on.
