Web, Wine And Wisdom June 25, 2009

Join us for the Web, Wine & Wisdom at PariSoMa on June 25th from 6.30 to 8.30pm.

Why? Because we love new Web apps and because we enjoy discovering new wines, it seemed natural to mix it all into one event.

Check out the program :

Rob Spiro will be presenting Aardvark.

Jeffrey Jenkins will be presenting Reframe It

There will also be wine demonstrations by two professional winemakers, one Californian, one French.

Château Plaisance – Montagne Saint Emilion 2005
The 5ive Russians – Syrah – Russian River Valley

WWW is a networking event made for tech lovers, entrepreneurs, developers, inventors and and anyone who is curious about new tech applications and who loves wine.

Rob Spiro & Aardvark

Rob, Assistant Curator to Birds, leads all quantitative and qualitative user research initiatives. Previously, Rob co-founded Mifly, a mobile software startup, and Reelblogs, a new media company. Rob holds a BA in History from Yale.

Aardvark is a live channel that enables people to tap into the wisdom of their networks, conversationally, in real-time. Aardvark is not a website -- it is a contact that lives on your existing buddylist in your IM program, your email address book, and (soon) your mobile phone.

Jeffrey Jenkins & Reframe It

Jeffrey is the Community Director of Reframe It. He coordinates external advocacy projects and liasons with Reframe It users to maximize open transparent dialogue. He is obsessed with the promise of data portability, the semantic web, and creating new democratic channels for art and media.

Reframe It is a service that lets you read, reply to, post, and share comments about the text or images of any webpage. Either by working with publishers or through a browser extension (sometime called a plugin) we allow readers to bring their voice to any selectable part of the web. With Reframe It the comment you make live in a margin next to the web page's text you select, where they can be shared via email, facebook twitter, rss, etc. Anyone can then directly link to your comment and see your words in context.
