This week, we're at the Future of Web Applications in London. We were lucky enough to get our own booth in the expo area to demo Second Brain.
We've been working very hard to get our public release ready in time for the event. Fortunately, we were able to release a preview version just in time for the conference. Beta Preview means that it is open, but that there are parts that are not really finished. It feels great to get it out there and get feedback from real users.
Quite a lot of people stopped by our booth, curious to see what we do and what problems we solve. The feature that most people liked was the search and browse in library, embed collections and the public profile page with the content history. People also asked questions about what services we support and many requested Facebook.
One of the things we learned was that we should have some more graphic material on our booth. Even with the demo video on the TV, the booth was a bit anonymous. Also, in order to get press coverage, we need to chase the journalists. They don't just stop by our booth eager for a new story. Next time, I will be more aggressive on the PR side.
All in all, FOWA was a good experience. We got lots of interest from potential users and investors. Now, we need to go back home and work on getting more users, usability and our high-priority features.
