Sneak preview of Oracle Open World expo

Originally uploaded by dynamist.

Today I was at the Moscone Center in San Francisco to make sure Qik is all set up for Oracle Open World. If you’re not familiar with OOW (I wasn’t), it’s absolutely freaking huge: Oracle takes over the entire Moscone Center, and the city of San Francisco shuts down Howard Street in order to avoid accidents as 40,000 people from around the world descend on SoMa for this event. Indeed, all of downtown - from buses and benches to lamp poles and thousands of people’s shirts - seems to be Oracle branded right now.

We’ve been working with Oracle to bring the Qik experience to Open World. We’ll be in the Inside Innovation Pavilion in Moscone West, showing everyone how to Qik and getting people set up to do so. Meanwhile, plasma screens all around the Moscone Center will be showing live videos from Oracle Open World that dozens of people will be streaming from their cell phones using Qik. We’re also giving away hundreds of dollars worth of iTunes, Starbucks and Jamba Juice gift cards every day just for joining Qik, so do stop by and say hello if you’re one of the tens of thousands who will be there. I’d love to meet some more of you freaks and geeks!
