As BT prepares to step up onto the IPTV stage - to take on the likes of Homechoice, NTL and sky - it is starting to gather together content providers like Warner Music, Paramount, the Beeb and National Geographic. All the sort of content providers that are likely to produce decent TV that people will sign up to “BT TV” to watch but please tell me that there’ll be more than Big Brother re-runs coming from Endemol.

On a similar note, I wonder what BT will use to deliver their video streams? It would be quite fitting if they used BitTorrent (BT - geddit?) really. Although, it looks like NTL are one step ahead on that one.

The Future of Web Apps Summit.

why buck a trend at a geek fest?
everyone else is blogging here, so here’s my quick notes to self:

• the event
• the speakers
  • self referential blogospheric egos
  • yahoo is everywhere
  • motivation? hippies need cash too
  • tag.alicio.us
  • iam(certainlynot)cal.com
  • does every ruby need a rail?
  • flex your flash (or the adobe ajax)
  • that mint bloke needs more slides/ help
  • dropsend should have been dropbox
  • the vc is dead (reminded me of Chris Anderson’s article in this month’s wired magazine)
  • (maybe i could launch ***.com from my bedroom after all)
  • wow. where did they get that german google guy?
  • bingo!
• the inevitable resulting photos, tags and even some slightly sensible notes.

Thank you to all of you who made it on Saturday evening. It was great to see our new flat so full of people and it now feels well and truly warmed. All went rather smoothly - with no broken hips or slipped discs reported from the oldies. So that’s nice. There’s even some photos.

I feel like I spent the whole night having half finished conversations with everyone, being pulled this way and that, waving my stick at all the youngsters, supping on my beer… I quite enjoyed being an old man. A dangerous sign of things to come perhaps?
