We talk D23 Expo technology stuff this week on Betamouse. Joined by fanboy #1 of the Betamouse nation, Michael Gold of Spoon Creative, we go through all the Parks and Resorts announcements and demostrations, including Talking Mickey and Great Destini.
We talk to 1scream’s Doug Sisk (@DougSD) this week about several slick projects he’s built in the Theme Park/Disney space! This kid’s got a lot of fire, and makes us all look really lazy. Be sure to listen!
This week we talk vertical social networks… specifically of the Disney type (a break from our usual conversation, I know). The best example of this subject is Ravelry, a social network for the knitting community. We touch on a few existing sites, talk about where the Disney-specific social interaction is going on right now, and what we’d want in our ideal Disney-specific network (and if it should exist or not!).
Scott and I are going to the D23 Expo next week, and we decided to touch base and get some grub. To spare us having to make awkward, computer science-related conversation, we’d like to invite others along. We’re going to have a mandatory* “meetup” outside of Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta in Disney California Adventure on Thursday, August 18th, at 6:30pm. All are welcome; no need to RSVP, bring Scott gifts, or code up your own events service to promote the event.
*By “mandatory,” I mean that at least Scott needs to be there. Also, it’s a requirement that he must have fun.
