Live from 24hbc

It's over!

2010-01-23T14:00:00.000+01:00

24 hour business camp is over. As sponsor and a participant I wish to express my infinite gratitude to the +90 entrepreneurs and the amazing Ted for 24 hours of pure joy and excitement. There are smiling faces wherever I look.

There is so much more to say, and I'm sure this event will continue to echo for a long time to come. But for now, thanks.

Ted is updating the regular blog at www.24hourbusinesscamp.com with a summary of the projects and a possibility to vote (that sneaky b*stard;) - go check it out, it's a great collection.

So, with an image of the gift we passed along to Ted, I bid you farewell. See you soon again!

Listen To Blogs

2009-01-23T13:14:00.003+01:00

"Listen to your favorite blogs, or turn any blog into a podcast using your own voice"

Have a million unread feed items in your reader? Tired of reading long texts in front of your macbook? At listentoblogs.com you find crowd-sourced podcasts of your favorite blogs. Recorded by bloggers, blog-fans and you. Here you can upload recordings of blog posts which people then can subscribe to with iTunes or their mobile phones. We accept many different audio formats and have no limits in filesizes. Make your blog available as a podcast asap!

The team was carefully orchestrated from the beginning and our roles were very clear. Henrik did backend and data, David templating and design and Eric jQuery, interaction design and overall über web knowledge. We focused 100% on code and worked only with open platforms like AppEngine, SoundCloud, & Twingly. This is what made it possible to build the service in 24 hours.

Our potential users are mainly people that read blogs but there is also an accessibility point of view. This could be huge for visually impaired users, enabling them to follow great blogs.

Since audio-ads seems to winning some ground with startups like Spotify & Pandora it could be a possible monetization option for us as well. But for now, let's just try to record a lof of blogs!

vackertvader.se

2009-01-23T11:58:00.000+01:00

“Vackert väder” means beautiful weather in Swedish, and that is what we are all about. Vackertvader.se is a local weather site that combines weather forecasts with beautiful nature photography.

At vackertvader.se you will get

1) Your local weather forecast clearly spelled out. No more deciphering of maps, tables and weather parameters in small print when you try to figure out tomorrow’s weather.

2) Beautiful photography that relates to your forecasted weather situation.

Our goal is to cooperate with the Swedish photo community. Vackertvader.se should be a fun place for amateur photographers to show off their great shots to a wider local audience. We will link back and credit all photographers.

We admit that combining weather and photography might seem like a stretch. But considering how boring and uninspiring both old and new media presents weather information today, we are willing to give this idea a try.

So who are we? Two brothers. Axel and Tomas Wennström. We run the Swedish recipe search engine hittarecept.se, one of Swedens largest recipe sites. Tomas can also be found at whatsnext.se.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank our sponsor. Without Forecas support with ten day weather forecasts, vackertvader.se would not have happened.

MMSX - Local information via MMS

2009-01-23T11:51:00.007+01:00

With MMSX you send an sms to us, and we'll position you and your phone and send you a Multimedia Message (MMS) back with interesting and funny information about your surroundings. The ever expanding list of sources currently contains: local news from Nyhetsportalen.se, pictures taken in your vicinity from Panoramio, information about the city you're in from Wikipedia and local weather from Weather Underground. Future plans include adding nearby events, tonight's movies for the local cinema and nearby cafés.

While many phones today come with a GPS, there are still a lot of not-so-tech-savvy users out there who doesn't own a GPS phone or maybe doesn't know how to use one. A majority of cellphone owners know how to send an >SMS, and read an MMS, and this service makes location based services available to them.

MMSX is implemented in PHP using Zend Framework. For positioning we utilize Mobilstart.se's mobileForward service.

Energy-kick through SMS

2009-01-23T11:48:00.013+01:00

Get your daily energy kick by sms on energikick.nu by sending "energikick" to 72500. This service is delivered by Reza Daryaei from ACCEL IT.

TagFeedr.com

2009-01-23T11:41:00.001+01:00

TagFeedr lets you create photo feed based on different themes at different times. You create a calendar with tags and then each day TagFeedr generates a photo feed with photos from Flickr based on the tags for that day.

TagFeedr will launch soon and at the moment you cannot create a personalized feed. It will come. But you can enter tags and get a feed with the tags for today or a feed with photos from Flickr tagged with these tags.

TagFeedr was implemented using Ruby on Rails using the Aptana development tools. This was the first project I have done on Rails.

TagFeedr.com is created for those who has an internet enabled PhotoFrame and want more dynamic content than just a feed, or someone who want to get a bit more control over a feed.

At the moment there is not a clear revenue model setup for TagFeedr but there are a couple of ideas to investigate. The challenge is that the users are not visiting the TagFeedr site very often and there are currently no web commercials solutions with pay-back available for PhotoFrames. Current ideas include:

Inject commercials/product photos in the feed?
Use AdWords on the configuration site

Any other ideas or feedback on these or the service is much appreciated!

Brandstalking.com - stalking your brand

2009-01-23T11:27:00.008+01:00

Brandstalking gives you reports of how much your brand is talked about in blogs and microblogs - and whether this has an impact on the top 100 results of Google.

In cooperation with Twingly, we monitor blogs and microblogs for mentions of your brands, then check if there are any movements in Google. The alarm goes off when we see significant changes in all three places.

Twice a day (at 9 AM and 3 PM) we have report ready for you when you log in (our paying customers get it in their mail).

Below is a sample of a report where we have been stalking the new brand 24hbc. And in case you wonder. Yes, there are significant changes in blogs, microblogs and Google's result pages.

We will keep updating our project blog at blog.brandstalking.com during the one month test period we now have set up for tweaking our algoritms. After that we will open up in Public Beta.

Börja Blogga: Teaching you what blogs are really about

2009-01-23T11:25:00.004+01:00

My project is about blogs, and teaching people to see beyond the narrow view often focused on by newspapers. The idea is to educate people about the fact that blogs are not just personal journals or today's outfit fashion postings, while it in fact is a complete way of publishing. Some people don't believe you if you tell them that Engadget is a blog, they say it is a news site or something similar, while it in fact is the essence of a group blog.

The key is that blogging is really a method of publishing, rather than a specific kind of content.

Börja Blogga is all bout teaching people this, and helping them to find new ways to expand their blogging. The site is geared towards beginners as well as experts, no matter if they are enthusiasts or professional bloggers. It will also focus on how business can use blogs to make their presence known online, no matter if they are big or small, as well as use revenue share programs for services that can add value to the bloggers.

Simple job board for web professionals in Sweden

2009-01-23T11:22:00.010+01:00

We created a simple job board for web professionals in Sweden. The idea is to gather the best web companies and the best developers and designers in Sweden at a site that does away with the bullshit and just reaches out with the essentials - good people looking for good people. With Twitter-style posts, ads are supposed to be just a couple of hundred characters (not the essays you're used to on traditional job boards).

Subscribe to the brafolk.nu RSS feed now to keep an eye on potential gigs. Maybe you know someone who's a good match, or need good people for your project.

All participants at 24hbc get to advertise at brafolk.nu for free, just supply the code #24hbc instead of invoice details. This also applies to small startups, individuals and good causes. Get your shout for good people out there!

The team behind hitta.brafolk.nu are Andie Nordgren (development) and Alexis Fellenius (design/html/css). The app is built with Django on App Engine.

2009-01-23T11:22:00.002+01:00

FörstaKapitlet.se (directly translated to "first chapter") is a service that will revolutionize they way people find the perfect book to read next. The concept is simple at heart; letting people read or listen to the first chapter of a large selection of books and then giving them a good price at our future partners's sites. But even though the idea is simple, the possibilities are endless and we have big plans for what we want to take this service, including cool widgets that let's users spread these chapters and tailored podcast feeds with just the book genres you like to read.

We will create a service that is not just a destination site but something that lives all over the Internet whereever books are being discussed.

We'll start with Sweden. Then we'll take the rest of world. :)

Here is an intro video in Swedish:

Tampongdax.se - Monthly tampon subscription

2009-01-23T11:09:00.004+01:00

This project aims to create a tampon subscription service. For most women their period occurs once a month. This means that they have to remember to buy sanitary products every month. By using Tampongdax.se they no longer have to go to the supermarket to buy those products. A few clicks and the order has been placed and will be ready to ship within 3-5 days.

We've really gone from an idea to an early beta version of the site. We basically came up with the idea the night before the event, after our girlfriends having sown the original seed for the idea.

Since 24 hours isn't that long time we'll only be releasing an early version of the site up to this date. But it works :).

Barnamun.se

2009-01-23T11:04:00.005+01:00

A interactive website where you can share your best children quotes and turn them into books, t-shirts and gifts.

Children can deliver the funniest –and smartest sayings. At barnamun.se you can share the best of them and read others. Create your own user account and let your friends and relatives subscribe to your quotes through rss feeds or email.

After collecting a few, you can turn them into hard cover books, calendars, t-shirts, cups, pillow cases or bags.

In case of bad memory, you can use your phone and text your quotes just after hearing them. You can also subscribe to the “quote of the day” and get a quote to your cell phone every day.

Honey, I'm home!

2009-01-23T10:54:00.003+01:00

As sponsors, Bonnier R&D´s main focus was to meet all the entrepreneurs and learn as much from them as we could. Unsurprisingly, we soon realised that the temptation to build something ourselves proved to be to difficult to handle.

Morris and I played with the new Mirr:or RFID-reader from Violet. It suddenly dawned on us that the new SL bus/underground-card has an RFID chip inside, and therefore most people in Stockholm will have one soon. A world of opportunities open.

With a lot of help from Herman (and Pelle), we made a small script that connected the Mirr:or to the Mobilstart API. When the chip is read, a text message is sent to a predefined phone number, notifying what time the reading occurred.

We think this could become a smart little application for families. When the kids come home they simply place their SL card over the reader, and automatically the parents get a text message saying "Hi! Sara came home at 14:15".

Elustr - help create a modern classic by illustrating the Classics

2009-01-23T10:53:00.005+01:00

Elustr is a Facebook application which allows people to work together to create something new by illustrating classic literature with photos they have published on Facebook. The first Classic available for illustration in the application is Pride or Prejudice by Jane Austen, sourced from Project Gutenberg.

The application is not yet in the Facebook application directory but it is available at http://apps.facebook.com/elustr_/ or http://www.elustr.com for you to look at. It is not completely finished but without the 24 hours of hard work and deep concentration I would never have got started with this fun, interesting application - so I'm quite happy with the result.

In order to get as much as possible done in 24 hours I set up an environment beforehand, including registering the domain name and updating the DNS record. There was a very steep learning curve to be climbed in a very short time, however, because making the app required the use of xFBML and jQuery - neither of which I had ever used before. If 24 hour business camp is all about sitting down and finally getting an idea started, then I dare say that goes for skills you have been coveting too.

Elustr is a mainly social application that allows people to work together to create something new. The plan is to add voting functionality, allowing the community to decide which illustrations are appropriate and which are not. After a set period of time the work on a particular book would cease and the finished, illustrated book be published as a downloadable PDF and perhaps be made available for purchase through a print on demand service.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this first (there will be more, I'm sure) 24 hour business camp and my contact details are available on my blog if you would like to get in touch.

Roligabarnaktiviteter.se

2009-01-23T10:48:00.004+01:00

It has now almost been 24hour's since we started this fun event and it is time to report on our progress. Me and Torbjörn usually run a company called Nannynu! (www.nanny.nu), a babysitting company that we started about a year ago. Since we are already in the kids and family industry we thought that we wanted to do something related to nannynu! during 24hourbusinesscamp. However, since you only have 24hours many of the ideas did not make the cut. But, then I remembered that many of my customers always talk about that they dont really know what activities to do with their kids during vacations and weekends so we came up with the idea of developing a search engine för kids activitites in Stockholm. So we looked at google and saw that almost 11,000 people search for kids+activity or kids+activities everyday. That is why we took the name www.roligabarnaktiviteter.se , which in english would translate to funkidsactitivties.se.

We have some competitors but we will use google maps to make it simple to search for fun things in your neighborhood and combine this with either dates or specific activities. We also want to make our site interactive so that anyone can post a new acitiivity and comment and grade acitivities that people have tried.

Torbjörn, the programmer in our team, did not sleep anything last night but unfortunately the swebsite is not 100% ready and this is partly because it took muck longer to build everything than we planned for and also because we have to worst webhotel ever who not only have put our database on an old databaswe but also they pointed our domain name wrong which means that if you enter www.roligabarnaktiviteter.se you end up at nannynu!. However, if you want to take sneek a peak you can go into www.roligabarnaktiviteter.se/default.aspx and look at the website.

We are hoping to finish the last thing today and during the weekend and hopefully people will also help us fill up the content by going in and entering info om different actitvities.

But I must say that this event have been one of the coolest things I have experienced. The people have been awesome, the conversations extremely interesting, and the energy high. I sincerely hope that there will be a sequel or followup so thanks TED for everything!!!!!!

best,
Jeanette
