6:30PM: DigitalFlashNYC Networking Event on E-Readers

Kindle, Nook, Sony E-Reader, the Apple tablet (maybe?). Electronic “books” are rapidly changing the way we read information. Popular Science Magazine is developing a revolutionary way to view magazines and they want you to tell them what you think. Is this a good idea? How does this effect digital marketing? Just as the internet changed the way we could market, will e-books do the same?

Come see what the Popular Science guys have to say and give your 2 cents – trust us, they want your feedback!

6:30PM: What the RDF? ... Firsthand perspectives from Semantic Technology in action

Semantic technologies promise to change the landscape of the web and enhance the user experience. Like many evolving technologies, there remains a gap between theory and practice.

We’ll share our experience developing enterprise and consumer facing semantic search applications from three perspectives: Content and user experience, knowledge engineering and technology.
