• 4:21 PM Florian Krakau -
  
• 4:21 PM cbgreenwood - They should team up with TripIt
• 4:22 PM cbgreenwood - Semantic Web meets UGC is the way to go imho.
• 4:22 PM Peter Bihr - interesting point: presenter says zoover is already profitable in several markets (incl. germany).
• 4:23 PM Peter Bihr - no brownie points for their claim “check out before you check in”. next.

• 4:41 PM cbgreenwood - face recognition and audio2text filtering out of video
• 4:42 PM Peter Bihr - Demo shows a search for the Secretary of Economy talking about economy; two search parameters. Next example is Sarah Palin talking about gasoline prices. The result jumps straight to the point.

• 4:43 PM Peter Bihr - It works a bit like photo tagging on Facebook.
• 4:45 PM Peter Bihr - If they can pull this off, then it could be huge. Much more convincing than the last candidate in my point of view. Technology-wise, it looks very powerful. So they’d license their tech, or sell out?
• 4:45 PM cbgreenwood - apps.facebook.com
