Andrew Wolson (above left) presented one of the most interesting Creator Projects that we saw at One Spark. Andrew's project, "Skateboard wheel printer," is still in its infancy, as far a becoming an actual product. However, Andrew told us that he has had the idea in the back of his mind for 3+ years. Andrew [...]
One of our favorite One Spark Creators that we had a chance to speak with was Craig Riley, the Founder of Kid Keemo. Kid Keemo was created to "make kids with cancer feel normal again."Kide Keemo One Spark Creator Profile Kid Keemo is actually the character that you see above. Kid Keemo is a part [...]
There is no question that there are a ton of idle companies out there. Companies that may have failed, been extremely slow growing, companies with little to no traction, and side work that is going untouched. One of the largest reasons for this is a simple lack of interest and or time to devote. Any [...]
Anther application that we were looking forward to checking out at One Spark was Event Socially. In a nutshell, Event Socially is an application that gathers event data, info, and pictures from all the various social networks and puts all that information into one easy to use web and mobile format. EventSocially is the authoritative source [...]
Just the other day, I was talking with one of my friends about group messaging. I know, fascinating topic of conversation. Anyhow, we reached the conclusion that was not really a good solution. The stock SMS apps of both Android and iOS are funky, and make it difficult to maintain long-standing group message rooms, leaving [...]
For whatever reason - we haven't been able to figure it out - there was a proliferation of daily deal platforms/apps/websites at One Spark. There was a ton of variety in these projects, and some really great offerings, and one of them, Eatrhguy, won the popular vote in the technology category. However, the most interesting [...]
One of the One Spark Creators that we were really looking forward to checking out was Local Ticket Sales. Local Ticket Sales is a marketplace for, you guessed it, event tickets. This alone is not all that groundbreaking, there are countless event websites and apps out there. However, the approach that Local Ticket Sales is [...]
There are tons of creative projects on display in Jacksonville right now for One Spark. Tons. Three of our favorites are here by way of Tampa Bay. Pledge Your Bets, WeVue, and Drawer are all products of the Tampa Bay Wave accelerator. We have already told you a little bit about WeVue and Drawer, but [...]
Of all the One Spark Creators we profiled in the lead up to the 'Worlds First Crowdfunding Festival,' the one that I was most looking forward to seeing in person was the Marbel Electric Skateboard. I used to skateboard constantly. I son't skate nearly as much these days, but it is still one of my [...]
We love to call it slacktivism but companies like Tom's shoes have made it so easy to give back just by purchasing their product. Now we've learned that Gripcase, the company that makes the iPad case our 6 year old ISTE correspondent loved, has applied the same model to their line of iPad cases for [...]
Ever since Tom's shoes hit the retail market the concept of buying something to have the same thing given to someone in need has sparked a new interest in giving to people in need. It's perhaps the easiest way to donate anything, and manufacturers like Tom's make it super simple. If you're not familiar with [...]
In what initially came as a shocker to most, Zillow has announced an acquisition of Trulia for $3.5 billion dollars. The acquisition is an all stock deal, for the benefit of Trulia shareholders according to Trulia executive Peter Flint. The New York Times reported on Monday that Zillow and their Chief Executive Spencer Rascoff had [...]
One of the more interesting projects that we came across at One Spark 2014 was Two Way Resume. The main idea behind Two Way Resume is that paper, black-and-white resumes are both dull and incomplete. Essentially, Two Way Resume is an update to the paper resume. Using the platform, users can transform the paper resume [...]
SNAPprints was another super-creative application on display at One Spark. Perhaps the only thing that held SNAPprints back from performing better in the popular vote was their location. They were tucked into the Bank of America building which, for whatever reason, did not see much traffic throughout One Spark. Anyhow, SNAPprints is a collaborative, event [...]
Another One Spark Creator that we have been looking forward to speaking with was Join The Effort. Join The Effort is a non-profit, "philanthropic social network." Join The Effort began as a sort-of recruitment tool for charitable and other organizations to recruit volunteers. However, as the platform began to grow and rapidly expand in both [...]
Just the other day, we saw the Marbel electric skateboard. Today we had a chance to check out the Bat-Bike electric bicycle. The Bat-Bike comes from maker of the Bat-Caddy line of electric golf bag caddys. I have to say, I am getting pretty excited about all of these electric powered personal vehicles. Anyhow, here [...]
Matt Baer is a software engineer and entrepreneur and his goal is to make communication easier. Enter LunchTable, an android based chat app that he started working on during his college days at Radford University. The story behind the name of his app is a relatively simple one: In college I developed a group communication [...]
Another App being displayed at One Spark this year is the Pocket Promoter. The Tampa, Florida based project was founded by a team of four, three of them with over 15 years in development experience and one a financial accountant for over 5 years. Their product is aimed at bars, nightclubs, and their patrons. The [...]
On Tuesday, 25 March 2014, HTC released the new HTC One (M8). The HTC One M8 is the follow up to the best selling HTC device of all time: the HTC One. The One M8 has a new camera and tons of new features
One of the more interesting projects that we had a chance to check out at last years inaugural One Spark was Immersed Games. The company is in the process of building a huge educational MMORPG. Think World of Warcraft or Ultima Online for education.
