My random notes from ArbCamp

October 28, 2007 by Dunrie

ArbCamp was Saturday 10/27.

What amazed me was the number of students who were able to attend – driving to Ann Arbor from E. Lansing, Flint, and some coming from the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area. Talking to the students was a highlight for me. The only business cards I exchanged were with students. I think my first business card was post-grad-school-graduation, so this particular crop of students has several years of wisdom on myself at that age. They impressed me for their preparation, their entrepreneurism, and their networking skills.

Here’s a list of websites I jotted down:

  • blueprintcss – Google code to reduce development time
  • Andrew Turner’s mapufacture
  • platial – social networking & maps
  • dapper – a content aggregator
  • virb – social networking
  • Yahoo! mash – social networking (learn more at techcrunch)
  • ning – social networking
  • collectivex – social networking
  • a small world – social networking for the very rich?

Here’s the “new idea” that everyone else seemed to know but me: microformats.

  • Wikipedia entry on microformats
  • Firefox plugin – Operator (learn more, get it)

    A while back Brian Kerr pointed me to the Operator extension for Firefox. It parses microformats and lets you do nifty things: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4106
